This is scary. So many times, this word comes to mind, but I’m never quite sure how to put something down on paper. Today, the word grace whispered to me, but I, again, chose to file the word for another time. Then, I went to do the scripture readings for the day. What was today’s… Continue reading Grace

Freedom
I remember taking a school field trip with my fellow classmates to the city known for freedom – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. What impressed me the most was seeing the Liberty Bell with its infamous crack and reading the story behind it. When we were younger, did we really understand what freedom meant and how blessed we… Continue reading Freedom
Celebrate
In the quiet of the evening, as the sky starts to darken, my eyes wander around our house, looking at the results of our many hours (days) of Christmas decorating. In our family room alone, we have displays of so many special Santas, snowmen, treasured lighted houses, and nativities. These are collected treasures over the… Continue reading Celebrate

Comforted – Blessed are those that mourn… Continuing on our Lenten journey
Comforted – Like our favorite cozy blanket wrapped around us on a cold winter’s night, (or the warmth of the sun on our face) Jesus is always there to comfort us. How can we better recognize the comfort He is offering us this Lent? What I didn’t understand before writing this was why would we… Continue reading Comforted – Blessed are those that mourn… Continuing on our Lenten journey
Spirit – A fresh look at the Beatitudes during this season of Lent.
I was captivated while watching the movie, “The Chosen”, an inspiring series of Jesus’ life from the start of his ministry. One of the most moving parts for me was the last episode of Season 2. Jesus is preparing to give his most important Sermon on the Mount and practices his speech by reading it… Continue reading Spirit – A fresh look at the Beatitudes during this season of Lent.
