Video of the Day: Clip from the 2005 movie “The Pacifier”
Bible Verse of the Day:
The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. 18 Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” 19 Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!” – John 21:17-19
Biblical Connection:

When the husband of this family is killed, his wife is sent overseas to retrieve an unknown safety deposit box. Meanwhile, Shane is left state side to watch all of their children. Although initially in over his head, Shane uses his special forces training to adapt to his new role as a babysitter.
John records one of the first encounters Jesus has with Peter following his resurrection. Each time Jesus asked if Peter loved Him, his feelings are hurt. Once Peter receives Jesus’ command for the next stage of his life, a foreshadowing is revealed. When Peter is arrested for his faith and was given the death penalty, Peter was crucified upside down, feeling unworthy to be killed like Jesus.
Closing Song:
Life on earth is filled with many stages that individuals endure and go through. Sometimes you may be called to greatness while other moments force you to become humble. As you enter your next phase in life, may you be open to changing roles like Peter and Vin Diesel.
