He’s Way Ahead of our Expectations
What were your Easter expectations? Happy family get-togethers and Easter egg hunts for the kiddos? Worshipping together in church for this high praise and worship day when Christ was raised from the dead? That one time a year that your family is willing to come to church together? Or maybe for a miracle healing to…
He’s Alive and So am I
He woke me up this morning and started me on my way…..you ask me how I know He lives. He lives within my heart! Happy Resurrection Celebration Day! Whoever said “You Only Live Once” (YOLO) didn’t consider our Lord’s living, dying, and living again forever! Jesus made a comeback like no other. And the over-the-top…
Holy Saturday – the Day After — the Day in the Middle
Here we are — the day after Jesus died. The day between death and life. A pause. A spacer. In the middle there sits the silence of Holy Saturday. If it were our loved one, today, we would be going to the funeral home to attend to the details: the coffin, the funeral, the music,…
Hump Day or Holy Day?
When I was in the workplace on Wednesdays, we’d often hear someone say: “Yay! It’s hump day!” That’s because Wednesday is smack dab in the middle of a work week and the weekend is in sight! Whoohoo! But, imagine the countdown to the weekend that Jesus was thinking about. Wednesday meant one day closer to…
How Can I Say Thanks? Maybe by Showing it!
Yesterday was Ash Wednesday – the day that kick-starts the season of Lent and continues 40 days through to Holy Thursday just before Easter. Many of us who were hard hit by the ice and snowstorms over the last few days, look outward to our snow and ice-packed streets. Many are reeling from electric, water…
Every Setback is a Setup for a Comeback
I suspect that all of us can come up with projects and plans and even places we were traveling to over the last several months – but it fell through because of the pandemic. We were disappointed about lost time with family for special occasions, a job promotion we might have missed, and no need…
The Thrill of Victory
I make my blog post and move over to my emails and, first thing, my eyes about bug out as I see that our Dallas Stars Hockey Team won their Western Conference Championship the night before. For the first time in 20 years, the Dallas Stars are heading to the Stanley Cup Final! Now they…
The Divine Tag-a-Long Changed Their Lives
As I was walking yesterday, basking in the freshness of the early morning, I said, “Open my eyes to see you, Lord.” I knew I was already seeing Him in the beauty of His creation, but I sensed a true desire to open my eyes to His presence – right now! After I posted my…
He’s the Answer to Everything
Maybe you’re thinking “Donna sure loves Easter because she keeps talking about it”. If you thought that, then you’re right! I can’t leave Easter alone – it’s the reason for everything we hold dear in our lives. And, besides, Easter isn’t over anyway. We’re not done yet! The Easter season (the resurrection of our Lord…
The Morning’s Blaze of Glory
I don’t think we were ever so grateful for Easter to arrive as we were this year. At least that’s how I felt about the new hope that comes with the resurrection of our Lord. And, what a declaration was made when a downpour of rain came and knock-me-outta’-my-bed-thunder and lightning early morning. I thought:…
