Father, the Titanic was declared unsinkable and sank in three hours. Human pride met immovable reality and pride lost. Overconfidence in technology replaced humble preparation and 1,500 people died. The "unsinkable" ship proved devastatingly sinkable. I see my own pride in that disaster.

Jesus, you walked with two disciples for seven miles and they didn't recognize you. You explained Scripture, answered questions, participated in ordinary conversation - and they had no idea who you were. Only when you broke bread did their eyes open. Only in familiar practice did recogniti

On Easter Sunday afternoon, two disciples walked from Jerusalem to Emmaus, a village about seven miles away. They were discussing the weekend's devastating events when Jesus joined them, but "they were kept from recognizing him" (Luke 24:16). This is stunning - the risen Christ walked besi
