How does it happen so fast? One minute they’re little babes in your arms and the next minute they’re talking about careers and getting married and all those grown-up things. My youngest just turned 13 this past week. I can’t even believe I’m typing that. 13?? Goodness. And my oldest will turn 20 on his …
It’s raining today. It’s been raining off and on for the last few days. You ever notice how everything looks brighter after rain? Like the grass looks greener. The dirt looks darker. All the colors are more vivid after rain. I have a little container garden on my back patio. It’s not much. A few …
I’m sitting here this morning drinking my coffee. Billie Eilish is playing on Spotify and the dogs are getting settled in for their first morning nap. I’ve been thinking a lot about Rachel Held Evans. She was a writer and speaker in the Christian community and she recently passed away at 37 years old. I …
I watched a message yesterday by Amir Tsarfati about Jesus and the Passover. It was so good y’all! I’m including the link for it because I hope you’ll go watch it too. One of the things Amir mentioned has been tumbling around in my head since yesterday. It came from this bit of scripture about …
I’ve been spending a lot of time in the Old Testament here lately, mostly because of prepping for my trip to Israel. (I still can’t even believe I get to type that ya’ll!) I just finished up watching a series about the Feasts of Israel and I’m currently reading a book by Daniel Juster called …
During one of the songs last night at church, there was a part where there was no words…just oohs. You know those parts? Where it’s just a lot of aah-ing or ooh-ing during what would otherwise be an instrumental part of the song? While I love those parts of the song when I’m in the …
My husband recently went camping in the mountains with some guys from church. They were warned about bear activity in the area, and that there was one bear in particular who was especially determined. Being mindful of that, they hiked along and set up camp for the night. They did all the things they were …
I started a study through the book of Mark a little over a week ago. In true form, I’m only three days in, but they’ve been a good three days. It’s interesting what things stand out when you read scripture slowly and really sink your teeth in. In Mark chapter 1, starting in verse 21, it …
When only love could make a way You gave Your life in a beautiful exchange. -Beautiful Exchange, Hillsong Live I’ve just sitting here trying to pound out something on this keyboard. I don’t know why this has gotten so hard. And just about the moment I’m going to give up and go to bed, this song …
Still hanging around in Luke 1. As I was reading and pondering through Zechariah’s response to the angel Gabriel that I posted yesterday, my eyes couldn’t help but drift across the page to see Mary’s response to Gabriel. Both Mary and Zechariah were presented with what to them seemed impossible. Zechariah and his wife Elizabeth were both …
