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…
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…
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…
Service With a Smile & Excellence
It’s Saturday and Mom, Karen and I meet at i-Hop for breakfast. This is our annual go-to birthday celebration place and since I’m in Tulsa town this weekend and my birthday is next week – they jump on it. I love these two women so much. They have been sources of anchoring me for so…
Somebody Else Will
A dear friend of mine is having quite the year. She has faced personal health issues and as the director of an active, vibrant ministry – was faced with leading it in a major event, and was tremendously successful at it, I might add. She has two children getting married this year (one this weekend),…
This Season May Be About “Ministry”
Following God’s lead, looks like this for me for a few days (see photos). I’m here in Austin on a “ministry” call to see after my youngest grandson for a couple of days before his big brother gets home from camp up in Seattle, and then we’ll have Nana/Bryson/Brennan fun for a couple of days…
Improving “Our Serve”
#TBT — Today is the ultimate #throwbackthursday. Years ago, my husband was the Director of a Christian Summer Youth Camp in Oklahoma. He pretty well “ran the show” – the camp activities, schedules, oversaw all the camp leaders, counselors, and volunteers, the daily outdoor church services, etc. I oversaw the kitchen, the meals and serving…
Unplugged
Day 53 of Photo Inspirations — UNPLUGGED!! I just returned home from a 3-day; 3-night ACTS Retreat where I was completely unplugged from technology — can you even imagine that I could survive without my computer, social media or my phone OR a clock or watch for that long? Most of you know I’m ALWAYS…
Improve Your “Serve”
It’s Holy Thursday – and we recount the Last Supper when Jesus, the greatest of ALL, was servant of ALL, as He washed His disciples’ feet. He, with the towel and basin, is the KING of the universe. The same hands that shaped the earth, the stars and the moon, washed away grime and filth.…
The Donkey — Jesus’ Limo
Happy Palm Sunday! Today, we celebrate our Lord’s triumphant entrance into Jerusalem where He was welcomed by crowds praising and worshipping Him and laying down palm leaves to honor Him. The palms, the “hosanas”, the worship and praise is typically our focus today. But, I’d like to add some focus to the donkey — he…
