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 Saturday — In the Middle
You may know the heartache and feelings when one of your closest friends or family members passed away, yesterday. You wake up the day after, and it’s up to you to handle the responsibilities of planning the funeral, the burial, notifying relatives, and figuring out what to do without them.

Temple Tuesday was Just That
Yesterday, on Holy Monday of Holy Week, I blogged about Jesus and His righteous anger when He saw the money changers selling their wares and cheating people at the temple.

Spoiler Alert – He Lives!
I have two word phrases today: ~ Good News: Something or someone pleasant, fortunate, or otherwise positive. In Christianity, it is the message of Jesus Christ concerning the salvation of the faithful (as elaborated in the Gospels). I love that definition – that means we can wake up each day, and EVERYDAY, with GOOD NEWS!!…
Oh, What a Beautiful Morning, Oh What a Beautiful Day!

That tomb became a Delivery Room. The Apostle Peter said in Acts 2:24 “God raised Jesus up, loosing the PANGS of death, because…
He Arose! It’s Resurrection Sunday — Easter!
Day 94 of Photo Inspirations – HE AROSE! It’s Resurrection Sunday – Easter! Think about it – it seemed all hope was gone. Jesus was dead. He was laid to rest. His body was anointed and wrapped in clean linens, then was laid in a tomb. The stone was rolled over the entrance and…
Brand New Life
Day 81 of Photo Inspirations — Brand New Life Yesterday, in front of me in church, I saw a little bit of heaven…..it was a precious newborn baby. He drew all of us into his world — a least those of us who sat near him. When he was born, his Mama said “he…
