From assorted challenges, diverse gifts, unique personalities, and varied contributions, Mary and Martha lead us to the Necessary One--Jesus Christ. Like the sisters of Bethany, we do not fully acknowledge Him as necessary until we confront our lost and fallen condition without Him.

We cry out to the One who is necessary, and we wait--wait for Him--because we realize that no other power can rescue us. ~ Camille Fronk Olson

l. She
dared one more quick look at the tat, but her attention soon
moved to the size of the muscle on which it had been inked.
Definitely leer-worthy. When he passed beside her on his
way toward the back of the room, she caught a whiff of sexy
aftershave and stifled a groan. Millicent was going to be all
a-twitter over him. Tara just knew it.

sooo hot," she couldn't help but silently agree.
But it was another girl's answer that made her curious.

teacher's desk. ~ Sharon Sala

What could she possibly have done that was so heinous as to earn her a lifetime of self-mortification? No one short of a tyrant deserved such unremitting agony.

I shrug. "You already have."
She rolls her eyes as her cheeks gain color. "So I have."
Bethany puts her drink down and her voice drops a few octaves, laughingly, "And what fun i had whilst doing it."

Armageddon and holy fire raining down upon the earth, but I
could not survive without him. ~ Alexandra Adornetto
