A Thankful Heart
I found a prayer this morning that is specifically for Fridays. It’s interesting because on my walk this morning, one of the things I asked Father to do was open my heart and fill it with His love, so that I might share it more fully with others. In reading the “commentary” on this Friday…

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…

Alleluia Christ Has Risen
The Lord has risen indeed, Alleluia! Happy Easter, friends! The 40 days of Lent have ended, and the Lord has overcome the chains of death and hell. With his sacrifice, He gives us the gift of life everlasting with Him in paradise. All things are made new in Him. Celebrate the joy of the resurrection…

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…

Morning Words
I’ve shared before that I have a wonderful little book that my husband bought for me a few years ago. He has his own copy; it was his mother’s. The book, “The Practice of Religion,” is filled with prayers, hymns, daily readings, etc. My edition was published in 1950; I do believe the first printing…

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…

R and R
It’s an abbreviation for “rest and recuperation”. I’m not sure if the military first coined the abbreviation or not, that I guess, is for another blog 🙂 . I know that we civilians have used it for as long as I can remember. I think back in the day, and probably still today, the military…

Her Presence
This day rolls around each year. That’s sort of funny to say, isn’t it? You could say that about every day of the year. The calendar has a way of repeating itself each year. Well, for the past 29 years, I’ve looked at March 10th through a different lens. You see, my mom went to…

Hard to Describe
My husband and I left work intentionally at an earlier time than usual. Notice I didn’t say we left early, 🙂 . We left with a purpose, to enjoy happy hour at one of our local establishments. When we arrived, there were two seats in a great spot, lively conversation with other couples, wonderful nosh,…

The Gift of a Brother
Today is a day to celebrate. Well, every day is a day to celebrate in my opinion 🙂 . Today, though, we celebrate my brother’s birthday. I am the baby of the family and have two older brothers. So, as you can probably guess, growing up, I was what we used to refer to as…
