Still Celebrating Easter
Looking across the room to my TV stand, I see two framed photos. One, with all my children and grandchildren and me. The other is one of my husband and me. It’s a way of introducing my neighbors to my loves. My family was altogether over the weekend — well, except for my sweetheart in…
The Debt He Paid Was Yours
I’m still in the afterglow of the resurrection and savoring what it meant to us. The stone was rolled away. He is alive and so are we – to live forever. I held onto this story for today. One of my guilty pleasures is watching some reality shows of which one is American Idol and…
He’s Alive and So am I
He woke me up this morning and started me on my way…..you ask me how I know He lives. He lives within my heart! Happy Resurrection Celebration Day!

It can apply to being dead long before we’re actually dead. That “old” mindset is a part of those who give up on…
Holy Saturday — the Cross Makes the Difference
Today is the in-between day of our Savior’s agony on the cross — one of the cruelest methods of execution ever practiced, slowly dying in despicable humiliation, His dead body placed in a tomb – sealed and done! But, then comes tomorrow — the day when all HELL had to break loose of what it…
