An Entire Message
A wedding runs out of wine. Jesus says “not yet” — then does it anyway. Two odd snags in one short story. What if they were put there on purpose?

We Weren’t There
Strip the familiarity off a baptism and it’s a strange thing to do to someone — laid all the way back until the water closes over the face, held under, then lifted out.

They built with brick instead of stone, and tar instead of mortar. The language fracture wasn’t a punishment. It was already inherent in the materials.

Nowhere on That Spectrum
Both sides of the Law vs Grace debate think I agree with them. Neither can see what is only observable from a different perspective.

The Hub and the Spokes
A friend asked whether transformation requires the Spirit or whether a person can simply choose love. The question is good. But it contains an assumption worth looking at closely.
