Pope Francis’ Trip to Heaven
On Easter Monday morning, Pope Francis made his final journey — this time, straight into the arms of the One he loved and served so faithfully. Just hours after offering his last Easter blessing from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica, he stepped into glory. What timing! What triumph! I believe heaven rang with Hallelujahs,…
Celebrating 40 More Days of Easter Joy
Maybe you’re wondering, “Is Donna still talking about Easter?” Oh yes, I am — and with good reason! Easter Sunday wasn’t the finale — it was the opening act of the greatest encore in history. The Resurrection was just the beginning. Jesus didn’t rise and vanish. He lingered for 40 glorious days, continuing to walk,…
Hallelujah! HE LIVES!
The tomb is empty.The grave clothes folded.The stone? Rolled away — not by men, but by the hand of the Almighty.Death lost its grip.Hell lost its claim.And hope?It rose with Him. Jesus didn’t just die for us — He rose for us.He didn’t just promise resurrection — He proved it.The One who was mocked, beaten,…
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…
The Race
In John 20:3-4, we read: “So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.” This moment of friendly competition between Peter and John gives us a lighthearted glimpse into their human nature. Visualize this with me:John: I won!Peter: Who’s ever…
It’s Time to Trust God More Than Ever
Trust doesn’t come easy for everyone – especially when we listen to skeptics and anti-faith dealers. I am not a frequent news watcher, but because my dear husband is a strong proponent in our election process, he stays tuned into politics and most important info hitting the airwaves. Often, I’ll lend my ear to what…
It’s a Come as You Are Party
I remember “back in the day” when we had “Come as you are” parties. The party planner called and invited friends who HAD to come right then, in whatever they had on at the time being. It was hilarious – PJ’s, work-out or dress-to-the-nines clothes, evening wear, swimming suit and jeans and a T–shirt or…
Owning Up to Our Authority
We’re still navigating our way with Jesus when He was in and out of places after His resurrection. He served up fried fish for His disciples by a campfire as they came to Him from their fishing boat. Jesus gave plenty of opportunities for witnesses to see Him alive and well AFTER He came back…
We’ve Got the Power
I can’t help myself. I am still living in the wonders and miracles of our Lord’s Easter/Resurrection life AND in our resurrection life. Colossians 1:13 says “He rescued us from the power of darkness and brought us safe into the kingdom of His dear Son.” God was in control when He placed Jesus into Mary’s…
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…
