I wonder what Christ’s followers were thinking the morning after his crucifixion. While they were together, did they pray? Did they sing? Did they feel overcome with fear? Did they discuss what might befall them next? Did Christ’s final words to them (John 14-17) echo through their memories? “Whatever befall” is a mystery, but it… Continue reading Saturday Song: the silence before Easter

Tuesday Song: When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
Tuesday looking forward to Easter: When I Survey the Wondrous Cross “No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.

St. Patrick’s Day: Rifts and Reconciliation
St. Patrick's Day is a light-hearted celebration day. At least in the States. Everyone wants to be Irish. All the things, clothes, and food are green. Or you'll get pinched. I even gave into the spirit of the day. Irish Pandora playing (Chieftains for the win!) while I baked scones donned in a green shirt.… Continue reading St. Patrick’s Day: Rifts and Reconciliation

The day before, thousands of Americans marched in Washington, D.C. for the rights of these unborn children who are not able to speak for themselves. Outside of these special days, men and women work… Continue reading What is Good: Justice, Kindness, and Humility
Sunday Song: Jesus Paid It All (Medley)
The Scroll and the Lamb Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” But no one… Continue reading Sunday Song: Jesus Paid It All (Medley)
Saturday Song: When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
This past week was Valentine's Day. Hard to miss, with all the pink, red, balloons, flowers, candy, stuffed animals, fancy dinners... and that was just Facebook. Love was definitely in the air and to be celebrated. I'll admit, I did have some awkward moments, a sort of sense of failure really, when I walked past… Continue reading Saturday Song: When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

"Greater love has no man than this, that he lays down his life for his friend."John 15:13 "Thanks and praise, for our days, 'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, neath the sky; As we go, this we know, God is nigh... While the light fades from sight, And the stars gleaming rays softly send, To… Continue reading Remember
To love with all
Fall break means more time for reading! This week I started Dr. Helen Roseveare's book 'Living Sacrifice'. In the preface, Dr. Roseveare expounds on what it means to be "a living sacrifice" (Romans 12) and show love for God (John 14:21). At the end, she writes thoughtfully about what it means to love God with… Continue reading To love with all
