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”

Icicles
Out my window I see a very large icicle, dripping. It will likely be gone in a couple of hours, for today – the temp is heading to 40. But it is winter here in the heartland and tonight it will get cold enough to freeze drips, turning them back into icicles. Icicles remind meContinue reading “Icicles”
God’s still small voice
When listening for God; He is in the still, small voice of your heart. The more we share with Him, the lighter our burdens become, He wants to hear from us, He wants the heartache and grief, the anger and frustration, the pain, whatever we are feeling, He wants us to share it with Him. Continue reading “God’s still small voice”
What we know about the baby Jesus
Historically, everything we need to know is in the Bible or has been picked apart by scholars through the many centuries. Why we need to know for our own personal reasons, is that it’s how we began to love our Savior. It starts at His birth. It follows Him for 33 years, we can expectContinue reading “What we know about the baby Jesus”
Pieces of Logic
What do you know logically, that doesn’t make sense spiritually? Or vice versa. I think of faith; like wind – you can’t see it, but you CAN feel it. The word “sense” is as close to “logic” ‘as I can find in the bible and it’s a stretch! Nehemiah 8:8 They read from the book,Continue reading “Pieces of Logic”
Pieces of Loss
There are many variations of loss. Of life, love, a health diagnosis, home, job, and whatever it is, is the most important thing to you at the time. No one could possibly understand, even if they can relate – it’s not the same. Sometimes we don’t want empathy as much as we want someone toContinue reading “Pieces of Loss”
Pieces of Broken Chain
While doing my devotions this morning, I added music to my routine. Blasted the volume on my laptop and plugged into YouTube and started with Selah, Wonderful Merciful Savior, then one of my favorites by Jesus Culture; “Break Every Chain.” I was reminded of what keeps me in bondage; bad habits some might say, butContinue reading “Pieces of Broken Chain”
Where Do You Find God?
I find God on a quiet day, in nature, the sound of wind always reminds me of Jesus. As if He is whispering to me. Also in my daily devotions, or wanderings in the bible. Today “faith” was a dominant word in my day; it came reading Hebrews; all of the people who chose (notContinue reading “Where Do You Find God?”
Blessed are they……
Matthew 5:1-12 In these words and phrases we learn how to care for people. The Eight Beatitudes form the core of the Christian life. As Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J., writes in his Modern Catholic Dictionary, they are the “promises of happiness made by Christ to those who faithfully accept his teaching and followContinue reading “Blessed are they……”
Courage
Courage roars. Does it? Sometimes it’s the still, small voice inside of us that wants to roar like a lion, but instead meows! 2 Chronicles 32:7 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power withContinue reading “Courage”
