Holy Thursday — Love at the Table
Remember Throwback Thursday? TBTOld photos. Big hair. Bell bottoms. Memories that make us smile. But this Thursday — this isn’t a throwback.It’s a comeback of the heart. Not just a picture on a wall of “The Last Supper” — but a living moment filled with love and passion — yet tension and deceit. Jesus sat…
Holy Thursday: When Love Bent Low
It was Thursday… but not just any Thursday. The table was set, the room prepared, and the weight of what was to come hung heavy in the air. The disciples had no idea this meal would be called “The Last Supper”. They didn’t know this would be the night the Lamb of God would stoop…
Improving Our Serve
This photo is one of the world’s most famous paintings. It is a 15th Century mural painting by Leonardo da Vinci. The painting represents the scene of the Last Supper of Jesus Christ and His disciples. You can see how aghast they were at Jesus’ announcement that one of them would betray Him. Today is…
The Week of Love
A morning online search led me to info I never knew. Apparently, Valentine’s Week in India officially began February 7th when couples start celebrating the month of love with romantic gifts, heartwarming surprises, and spending quality time with each other. “Bring on the love” is what I say! What not have a week of expressions…
Holy Maundy Thursday
Remember when, on Thursdays, we often tagged our photos on social media #TBT (Throwback Thursday) – meaning a blast from the past. This is my little family in 1980 at our church in Shawnee, OK, It was a big deal — big enough to dress up for the big Easter celebration. Had to get those…
Thirsty Thursday — Holy Thursday
Thirsty Thursday is what they call our social every Thursday night where I live. We are offered many beverages of choice to quench our thirst along with snacks to satisfy our hunger. Jesus had our thirst and hunger in mind on this Holy Thursday. Once upon a time, on social media, we would classify Thursdays…
Clean Out and Clean Up Time
Accidentally, I threw a towel into my wash with my black slacks. Oops! Hello Lint! You know. Those little fibers from that towel were all over those pants. I proceeded to pull out my trusty, sticky lint remover roller to remove all those tiny balls of lint. Because I was so passionate about what is…
Throwback Thursday Beyond Compare
I don’t see people using #TBT too much any more. For a while, it was a social media trend when people used it to share old photos of themselves or texts for nostalgia and memories. Please forgive me for this analogy which almost seems irreverant, but this is a day of monumental importance and should…
Holy Thursday — When the Greatest Became Our Servant
We’re in the throes of the most unlikely Holy Week of our lives. We won’t be attending church during this sacred time. But, nonetheless, I’ve done my best to keep the “holy” in the Lenten season and Holy Week. I’ve savored the oddities — meeting and praying with others via Zoom, joining with others in…
#TBT – Throw Back Thursday — Holy Thursday
It almost seems disrespectful to title my blog “Holy Thursday” AND “Throw-back Thursday” – but isn’t that what today is to us? It is remembering how Jesus shared a Passover meal with His disciples, and that meal invoked Holy Communion (Luke 22:19-20). We hear His words: “As often as you do this, you do it…
