Sadness & Waiting

Today we wait. Holy Saturday, Jesus has died and we wait for His rising again. We are fortunate, we know the end of the story. Could you imagine though living in His time? I can just feel the sadness and despair his followers must have felt on this day back then. A friend of mine…

Forgive Them

Today is the most solemn day of the year. The day when one man gave His life for the world. Father sacrificed His only Son, sent from Heaven, given to us, to literally die for us. The depth of love that is shown in this act is beyond anything our minds and hearts can even…

The Noise

Have you noticed the noise lately? All around us, there is noise, and I’m not just referring to sounds. The activities, distractions, and so many things that keep us from doing what needs to be done. This morning, I sat down to have my morning time with Father. My head was filled with so many…

The Passion

Today is Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week. The week when we walk the path that Jesus did, the last week of His earthly life. It’s an emotional week and there are so many services that have me questioning what would I have done if I were there in that crowd. Would I have…

Enjoy the Day

You all know that Saturday is my favorite day of the week. Ya, I know I’m not alone there 🙂 . The day always feels different, especially if you have the luxury of not having a full day planned. Today would be one of those days. So, if you are like me and you are…

Recentered…Again

Have I mentioned lately that it’s pretty interesting how Father just seems to drop into places when you really aren’t expecting it? He seems to have some pretty impeccable timing. We’re all busy these days. I frequently comment that I’m not sure where the days are going. In the midst of that busyness, it’s easy…
