Stand Up for Me

This morning, as I walked, I heard this message clearly. I hadn’t even asked Father what message I could share yet, so I’m guessing this is one that He really had on His mind 🙂 . We’ve all been in those situations when something is happening and you know it’s not right, but you don’t…

Deep Inside

A few months ago, I wrote about a couple that I’ve had the pleasure of knowing for the last few years. They are members of a wonderful 65-and-over golf group that I work with in planning their events. Twice a year, this group gets together and, yes, enjoys golf, however they enjoy much more than…

The Light of Christ

One of my favorite services during Holy Week is the Saturday evening service. It’s known as the Great Vigil of Easter. I won’t go into all the specifics about the service, that’s for another blog, but what I will say is that it is one of the most beautiful services you’ll experience. The service begins…

He Sleeps

Holy Saturday. God, in the flesh, Jesus, sleeps. He descends to hell to bring the souls of His children who have gone before, home with Him. The image of God bringing Adam and Eve out from the gates of hell, how powerful is that? He literally died in the flesh to release His children from…

Three Sacred Days

They begin today, the three most sacred days of the year. It’s called the Triduum and spans Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday.

God Speaks

There are times when he does, you know. If we allow ourselves to be open to listening, truly listening to Him, we will hear His message to us. This morning, I’ve been asking Father with more earnestness than usual to guide my steps and give me strength to accomplish a task today that won’t be…

Palms and Perfection

We’re headed out this morning to ready our church for Palm Sunday services tomorrow. I have to admit, I love the way our church looks on this day. Don’t get me wrong, there is no denying the stunning beauty of Easter, all the lilies and spring flowers are amazing. However, the simplicity and meaningfulness of…

Thanking Jesus is Enough

Over the past few days, you all have been answering the call to help with lifting prayers for a friend of mine and his sister. Rick’s sister was dealing with some major health issues this past week. I won’t share all of the details out of respect for Rick, just know that it was a…

It Is Well

My husband and I went to see the movie I Can Only Imagine 2 a few weekends ago. The movie is the sequel to one of my favorites, I Can Only Imagine. Both are based on the Christian music group, Mercy Me. The second movie picks up after the group made it big with the…

There You Are Jesus

I shared here in this little blog a few months ago that I carry a little Jesus figurine with me daily. A friend gave me one last year, and I’ve since bought a bulk quantity so I can hand them out to friends and strangers alike. When I reach into my pocket and feel His…
