John 13:6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?”7 Jesus answered him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.”8 Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.”9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!”10 Jesus said to him, “The one who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet, but is completely clean. And you are clean, but not every one of you.” (ESV) In the past, it was...

John 11:25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.

Our time could certainly be better spent. Hence the need for a spiritual task which refreshes and grows us as disciples of Christ. If there was a single...

Ps 91:3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler    and from the deadly pestilence.4 He will cover you with his pinions,    and under his wings you will find refuge;    his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.5 You will not fear the terror of the night,    nor the arrow that flies by day,6 nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,    nor the destruction that wastes at noonday. 9 Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place—    the Most High, who is my refuge—10 no evil shall be allowed to befall you,    no plague come near your tent. Don't know about you, but when things begin to get a little hairy in my life, I always find comfort in the Almighty's...
