The Dilemma of A Condemned Man

  He Could Have Called Down Angels The weight of the wood bruised His shoulder long before the crowd noticed He had begun to stumble. Blood traced its way down His back like ink running from a cracked scroll. His knees buckled more than once, but no one rushed to lift Him. They only shouted louder, as if the volume of their voices could silence the trembling in His body. Jesus of Nazareth had healed the blind and raised the dead, but in that moment, He looked nothing like a miracle. His face was swollen from the soldiers’ fists. His robe, once a mockery draped in sarcasm, now clung to open wounds. Somewhere in the chaos, Peter hid in the shadows, ashamed. Somewhere else, Mary wept. But Jesus kept walking—dragging, gasping, enduring. He had always known it would come to this. In the quiet hills of Galilee, He had spoken of seeds and sparrows. He had turned water into wine not for spectacle, but to save a wedding from shame. He had touched lepers when no one else would and dined with...

2 Corinthians 10:5 – Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of  Christ, Debate or Default: The Famous Quagmire. Not long ago, I stumbled across a post by the author of Diary of a CEO. He spoke earnestly about how exercising on default–without overthinking it–transformed his life. His words settled in my mind like morning fog across a quiet lake. I found myself nodding slowly, because I too have been chewing on a similar thought.

Default, on the other hand, often gets a bad reputation–dismissed as mindless or mechanical. But perhaps that's an unfair reading. I’ve watched people, with puzzled faces, ask others questions like: “Why did you marry him?” “Why do you love her?” “Why this path?” “Why that...

  Psalms 124:6 – Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. 🐾 Devotional 1: Chewed, Not Consumed 📖 Scripture: "We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair."– 2 Corinthians 4:8 🐕 The Story That Bible has been with me since uni. One of those burgundy leather ones with gold edges and my full name embossed like I’m Joyce Meyer’s cousin. It had notes, highlights, baby oil stains (don’t ask), and yes—teeth marks. You see, Blaze–my German Shepherd and self-appointed Bible study supervisor–ate it. Or well, chewed it. It was a Tuesday. Rainy. Children at school. I had finally, finally carved out time to journal and study. I lit a candle (romantic abi?), brewed tea, and left the room for five minutes to silence a boiling pot of beans. I came back and Blaze had chewed Paul’s letter to the Corinthians clean off the page. Just vibes and jaw strength. I gasped so loud even Stu the cat blinked from the fridge. Raya, our Base...
