The Temple
There is an old saying that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting to get a different result. Ya, I think it’s pretty spot on. I thought about this as I was riding my bike this morning. Where the heck am I going with this little blog today,…

Ice Cream Lessons
One of the very first little blogs I wrote was recapping an evening my husband and I had several years ago. After dinner at home, he asked me if I wanted to get ice cream. We did and had a wonderful time reminiscing about the many years we have been together. Well, last night, once…

Tried and True
I’ve started something with my morning prayers and conversations with Father. I’ve added the Lord’s Prayer to the end of my conversation each morning. In the past, whenever I didn’t know what to pray or what to say to the Lord, well, I always fell back to His prayer. I’m guessing that is pretty common…

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…
