Today in church, I was moved to crying during this song. I have heard before and always have the same reaction. Palm Sunday is such an emotionally potent day. Imagine being Jesus, you arrive to Jerusalem, the people are waving palm fronds at you, laying down their garments for your lowly donkey to walk over,Continue reading “Moved to Tears”

Psalms Pieces
There are so many beautiful Psalms in the Bible. Do you have a favorite? Do you know the significance of this book? One man struggles in his faith, wanting to surrender and know God on a deeper level. He sings praises to God with a longing heart. It is not always an easy book ofContinue reading “Psalms Pieces”
Eastertide
To be honest, I had never heard of “Eastertide” until today, and as a new-to-the-Episcopalian-faith, I wanted to make sure I was understanding it correctly. It seems to be a beautiful time of celebration. It is based in Christianity & Judaism and although I attend a “certain” church, I do not believe that Christ putContinue reading “Eastertide”

For God So Loved the World
We have a promise of eternal life; but not because of the “good” we do or how righteous our life appears to others. Because eternal life is a gift; for believing that God gave selflessly, His own Son; His life, for our life. But why? Easter is around the corner, and we know it’s notContinue reading “For God So Loved the World”

According to Merriam-Webster: Easter is a feast that commemorates Christ’s resurrection and is observed with variations of date due to different calendars on the first Sunday after the paschal full moon. I’ve answered my own question! Still, I thinkContinue reading “Holy Week”
Holy Month
April is just around the corner and our holy month begins; Palm Sunday, Passover, Good Friday and Easter. The death, burial and resurrection — the miracle that saved our life. Do you believe? That is all that is asked of us, to believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins. People don’t like to seeContinue reading “Holy Month”
What we gain by giving up
During this Lenten season, some are giving up sugar or Facebook or something else that bogs down their time or life. Some; instead of giving up, are giving. They are volunteering or adding more bible study to their routine. Whatever path you choose, make it prayerful, make it important. You are in essence, to denyContinue reading “What we gain by giving up”
Journey to Redemption
Easter Sunday has arrived in many parts of the world; where I live, it’s tomorrow. The past few days have been incredibly moving for me. Having grown up in a rather sedate Lutheran church, there were no “stations of the cross,” Good Friday services or much reflection on the sanctity of Holy Week. We recognizedContinue reading “Journey to Redemption”
