Spreading the Light
Our sermon last Sunday touched on the story of Lazarus and his miraculous resurrection from the dead. The focus was on the days afterward and his sister Mary specifically, but he was part of the message. Yesterday, the online Bible study that I’m following was about Lazarus. The reading was from John 11:1-44, if you … Continue reading
The Divine Gardener
My hubby and I were doing some much needed yard work last weekend and we pruned some holly bushes way back. We had allowed them to begin taking over our driveway. What once were nice little evergreen bushes, had gotten completely out of hand. They are seriously ugly now, but they will come back with … Continue reading
The Divine Writer
My hubby and I really enjoy the television show, Grimm. It comes on Friday nights and we look forward to it all week. It’s a show about good versus evil with the supernatural thrown in and is based loosely on Grimm’s Fairytales. The writers of that show truly amaze me. There is one character named … Continue reading
Dealing with Nuisance Birds
Yesterday, some movement in my garage, caught my eye. She was back. I guess it was a she. Every year around this time, I have an ongoing battle with a bird who insists on trying to build a nest in my garage. Surely after all of this time, it isn’t the same bird, but it’s … Continue reading
Working At It
Spring is here, or really close, and shorts weather will soon follow. I love doing yoga and Pilates, but I don’t like doing cardio and I really loathe working on my arms. But, as a gal in her mid-forties, if I don’t want those famed choir lady arms, or as my mama calls them, angel … Continue reading
Savoring the Moment
When the weather gets warmer like it has over the past few days, I feel an incredibly strong pull to get outdoors. My family and I took a walk on Sunday. I had so many things to do at my house, but I’ve become wise enough to know that when my two teens are willing … Continue reading
Yesterday,Today and Forever
I was subbing in a fifth grade class yesterday and I had a break because my students were at art. I took a deep breath because it had been a hectic day and I was basking in a little quiet time. It didn’t last long. One of my favorite students who I had earlier that … Continue reading
Welcoming the Prodigals
Yesterday, our sermon was about the Prodigal Son found in Luke, Chapter 13. It’s a familiar story for most of us. I’ve heard many sermons on it. I’ve heard sermons focusing on the forgiving, loving father. I’ve heard sermons that focus on the righteous son, as well as sermons that focused on the wayward son. … Continue reading
Never Stop Praying
I love that Jesus was such a great storyteller and to me, a great storyteller is not someone who uses long eloquent words that have me running for a thesaurus. He had a simple message for simple people. Humanity has a way of making the even simplest things in life complicated, and we can do … Continue reading
