Luke 24:13-35 13 That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, 14 and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened. 15 While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them. 16 But their eyes were kept from… Continue reading That Very Day…

A Day of Remembering: Good Friday
There are many days set aside on the U.S. calendar as days of remembering. We remember to give thanks in November. We remember our independence. We remember 9/11. We remember to honor our Veterans.

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" -- which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" When some of those standing near heard this, they said, "Listen, he's calling… Continue reading At the sixth hour…

Saturday Song: Road Trip Music
This week was Spring Break, which involved a 20-hour road trip (which was absolutely worth every minute of the drive!). Anyway, all that to say that I listened to a lot of music this week. So, I actually have two songs for this Saturday Song post. The first song made me laugh out loud --… Continue reading Saturday Song: Road Trip Music
