As We Enter Holy Week
At the start of the year I whispered a prayer: "God, I want to press on to take hold of that for which You took hold of me." My 'word for 2023' was not a word but a phrase—"press on"
I didn’t want 2023 to pass by in a blur of busyness or the lull of ...
Living In The In-Between of Holy Saturday
The Saturday between Good Friday and Easter has always felt somewhat nondescript to me. We do nothing much in particular. I probably spend most of my time in the kitchen prepping resurrection rolls (a tradition at our house) and baking lemon meringue pies (a recent but here-to-stay dessert for Easter lunch).
Holy Saturday hasn’t felt especially ...
Journeying with Jesus – A Lent Devotional
As I write this post in the last week of February, Russia has invaded Ukraine. Just this morning, the first reports of tanks rolling into Ukraine hit my screen.

Journeying with Jesus – A Lent Devotional

40 Days of Journeying with Jesus – A Lent Devotional
Day 1
Dwell On Matthew 26: 6-13
We start the Lent devotional with someone who truly got it. Mary, the sister of Martha and Lazarus, actually understood. In fact, she understood more than the indignant disciples who tried to stop her from “wasting” the perfume on Jesus. She, perhaps, understood that Jesus wouldn’t be with them much longer.
Her ...
Jesus Knows…Yet Jesus Chose
Recently, I was engaged in one of those privileges of being a mom, i.e. taking out the trash from all the rooms. I was pulling out the plastic trash bag when I spied with my little eye a bunch of kiddie vitamins. Not the yummy gummy-bear kind. Nope. No kid in his right mind would sacrifice those. But the semi-yucky, hard-as-rock Flintstone vitamins. ...
