Let’s Talk About It Some More
I mean. Let’s talk about what the resurrection of our Lord really means to us. I can’t let it go. The resurrection of our Lord changes everything. He proved NOTHING is impossible with God. He proved that what He said would be. Jesus said to Martha after her brother, Lazarus died and was buried: “I…
It’s a Good Day!
Today is Good Friday – the day Jesus was crucified. Without this day, Christ’s death on the cross would lose its meaning. The resurrection of Jesus is the pinnacle of our faith, but the death of Jesus is what makes it all possible. Jesus never wavered in His resolve to walk the lonely, painful path…
How Big is Easter?
We’ve made it to Wednesday of Holy Week. Just three months ago, we were celebrating Jesus’ birth. During the Christmas holidays we think of Him as “the little Lord Jesus,” who “laid down his sweet head” in a manger. It’s hard to understand why people would come to hate Him, conspire against Him, and ultimately…
Happy Palm Sunday! What Did Jesus See?
Not long ago, a new couple moved into an apartment across the hall from us. We welcomed them, and after that, would have casual conversation with them. The wife was always in a wheelchair. I never asked why. But one day, no questions asked, I was prompted to pray for her. They welcomed the prayer,…
God Save the King
I recorded and then watched the magnificent and regal ceremonies of Prince Charles III’s coronation. We, Americans, though we have plenty of pomp and circumstance at various and important occasions, don’t hold a candle to what took place yesterday. Charles became king the moment Queen Elizabeth died so the coronation yesterday was more symbolic in…
The Mountain and the Cross
My son kept saying “Mom, I’ve got to take you up the mountain to see the cross! It’s so beautiful up there!” The next day, we were up early (5:30 am) to take in the early morning sunrise! Indeed, the sun rose in all its glory, and the timing was perfect. It was well worth…
Desert — NOT Dessert
We’re nine (9) days into Lent, but whose counting? Me! I’m numbering the days to Easter in my journal. The end of this season isn’t even in sight yet. Do I sound whiny? “PLEASE, just one tiny taste of chocolate!!” I may sound whiny but I’m really not. I know I need this season —…
Having a God-is-in-Control Mindset
Thank goodness, the election is over. Congrats to the winners of of the political races because now we can breathe easier. The ones who won their seats proclaimed that they would fix the economy, solve the issues on immigration, women’s rights, health care, and give their supporters whatever they want from them. So, no concerns…
Ain’t No Mountain High Enough
My little eyes saw the lighthouse and church atop the mountain. It was a “God” moment when I recognized His presence as I gazed at those two sources of bringing safety to boats and people! I spoke about them in a recent blog. I’m a noticer, a seeker and many times, a finder! I’ve always…
News Alert: Jesus is no Longer on the Cross
And neither should we be! Remember the two men in white (angels) that showed up as Jesus ascended to heaven? They said, “Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen…
