Stop, Look, Listen and Be Blessed
Tomorrow is the second Sunday of Advent, when the second candle — the Faith candle — is lit on the Advent wreath. We have purposed to slow down and breathe in THE REASON for this miracle season. We are looking for the sights, sounds and gentle nudges of Father God. Then I’m sure He wants…
Let’s Take a Walk
I’ve loved seeing the Easter photos of families enjoying their Easter celebrations – their new Easter clothes, meals together, and egg hunts. My youngest two grands (16 and 18) still hunt for the eggs that their mama “rabbit” hid in their back yard. I know Mama Rabbit’s story – she wants to hold onto the…
I’m a Thankful Mess
My niece sent me this photo of her grandson whose parents are out of town. Yes, this little guy has taken over her home. Eventually she gets to tidy up, but then the little guy unloads this toys all over again. But, this grandmother is thankful to be able to clean up his messes. This…

Holy Wednesday’s Love Story
In the workplace, we call Wednesdays “Hump Day”. That’s because it’s in the middle of the work week and hallelujah, the weekend is in sight! Just two more days and it’s the weekend! But can we imagine Jesus thoughts on this day…..in the middle? Wednesday meant one day closer to His pain, suffering and crucifixion.…
Tougher Than Nails – Holy Saturday
Yesterday, as always on Good Friday with my husband, I watched “The Passion of the Christ” movie again. Not for entertainment, but for reminding me of the unspeakable price Christ paid for me. I think Mel Gibson got it right because Isaiah 52:14 says “His appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being…
Spy Wednesday of Holy Week
Here in my community, it only slightly looks like Easter is near. There are a few cardboard signs and metal crosses in lawns. What I prominently see are white ribbons on neighbors’ trees. The word spread for us to tie white ribbons on our trees to show our appreciation to those who are front-liners in…

How About a Life Changing Walk With Jesus?
Life-Changing: Having an effect that is strong enough to change someone’s life; having a powerful effect; compelling, game changer, unconquerable I’ve loved seeing the Easter photos of families enjoying their Easter celebrations – their new Easter clothes, dinners and egg hunts. It was hilarious watching my 16 and 17 year old grands hunting for eggs…
Spy Wednesday – Silent Wednesday of Holy Week
In the workplace, we call Wednesday “Hump Day”. That’s because it’s smack dab in the middle of our work week and, HALLELUJAH, the weekend is in sight! Imagine Jesus’ thoughts on this day. Wednesday meant one day closer to His suffering and crucifixion. This day was called “Spy Wednesday” because it was on this Wednesday…
