How peaceful are you feeling in this stage of the Christmas season? I’m writing this in its early stages, so while my “to-do” list is long, I am feeling more excited than stressed. But there have been many years before this that I’ve felt anything but God’s “light and peace” in the season. I […]
My sister and I were out for a walk recently, and we passed an amazing mural painted on the side of a building. It’s not the style of art I’m usually attracted to, but everything about it was a bit awe-inspiring. I used it as a backdrop not only because the color and form
I came across an interesting title in the book of Isaiah while doing some “Biblical wandering” this week. It is Chapter 40 and it reads “Comfort for God’s People.” A whole chapter in the Old Testament on comfort? That’s not what I was expecting when I think of the book of Isaiah. Judgment? Yes.

I’ve been contemplating how Jesus instituted the Last Supper Communion. I was raised in a church that celebrated communion every week. A deep solemnness was instilled in me regarding celebrating communion. It was a time for reflection- of ourselves and Jesus’ sacrifice.

As I was doing some reading in Mark, I came across the title of one of the chapters as “Jesus Predicts His Death the Third Time.” Hmmm. Three times. So I went back and looked at the other two predictions. That started me thinking about why it was so hard for the disciples to truly

My daily devotions in the last few weeks have included a lot of verses from Hebrews. I have to confess; for the longest time, I would look in the Old Testament for this book, because it’s named “Hebrews”, which makes me think of Abraham and the Israelites and all things OT. I
