When Saint Paul called Jesus a humble servant who “made himself nothing” in A.D. 61 (Phil. 2:5-11), he was not simply reciting a cute poem.

Because of this, my usual trips to Lowe’s Home Improvement are nothing more than a search for new light bulbs or a gift for someone else. All this makes what happened in our backyard a few years ago nothing short of a miracle.

Think Guacamole. That was the color of the carpet in the home I grew up in. Perhaps you find the thought of someone actually having “guacamole green” carpet hard to believe.
