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…

Climbing the Mountain to the Cross

cross God's Love

My son kept saying “Mom, I’ve got to take you up the mountain to see the cross! It’s so beautiful up there!” He was up early (5:30 am) the next day to give me the sunrise view! The sun was rising and the timing was perfect. It was well worth the climb to the top…

Carrying the Weight of the World

Uncategorized

Some of my days are absolutely care-free! My little corner of the world is a happy place on those days: my family is in a good place, my health is good, my bills are paid, I feel love coming from every direction and I sing: “And, I think to myself, ‘What a Wonderful World!” Oh,…

Shouldn’t it be Black Friday instead of GOOD Friday?

Uncategorized

You know the feelings…you, or someone you love is hurting so much, and no one else seems to understand your pain. Maybe your closest family member just passed away, and it seems everywhere you look people are just fine — they’re laughing, they’re carefree, they’re going on with their busy lives, and you think, “How…

What Symbols Do You Hold Dear?

Uncategorized

We are surrounded by signs and symbols in everyday life. We make decisions based on them — traffic signs, for example. What about our American flag that symbolizes the price our service men and women paid for our freedom? What about that coin on the sidewalk that reminds us “In God We Trust”? When I…

The Via Dolorosa & The Holy Sepulchre

Uncategorized

I had a very different kind of excitement about yesterday’s pilgrimage. We all dressed in black to express our respect for the holiness of what we were about to experience. If we were representing the resurrection of our Lord, I’m sure we would have been in the brightest of colors. Think about how we dress…

Shouldn’t “Good Friday” be called “Black Friday”?

Uncategorized

At first I thought “Black Friday” specials on “Good Friday” — how dare they? But then I thought maybe Home Depot is on to something with their Black Friday specials. After all, on this day, the most scandalous betrayal of justice in human history took place. Jesus wasn’t guilty of any crime or sin. After…

What Symbols Do You Hold Dear?

Uncategorized

When I was twelve, my boyfriend (who eventually became my husband) and I went on our first official (chaperoned) date. On my 13th birthday, he bought this pictured gold bracelet and charm for me with his savings. I still have that bracelet and charm. It has always been a SYMBOL of when we met and…

The Saddest Day

Uncategorized

The Saddest Day Holy Saturday, the day between Christ’s crucifixion and His resurrection was considered the saddest day ever. Yesterday I posted that “Good Friday should be called Black Friday” because of the despicable death of our Savior, but in reality, today should be called “Black Saturday”. To His disciples — those who walked with…

Good Friday or Black Friday?

Uncategorized

Shouldn’t “Good Friday” be called “Black Friday”? After all, on this day, the most scandalous betrayal of justice in human history took place. Jesus wasn’t guilty of any crime or sin. After the illegal trials, this loving, compassionate, giving, caring, innocent Man was stripped and tied to a post. He was whipped and beatened —…
