🌿 H A L L E L U J A H 🌿 He’s Risen Indeed. {full stop} The Love of Jesus looks like arms stretched wide, back laid bare, blood running down, thorns into scalp through tangled, matted hair. The Love of Jesus sounds like “Not my will, but yours, Father, only protect and shield […]
This Morning
I wonder where Barabbas is this morning? A bit of an unlikely character.He’d no idea his name would become notoriously etched in holy script. How many criminals and traitors, justly or unjustly charged, must have passed through Roman prison cells and swinging doors? I wonder if Barabbas encountered Jesus.I’m not enough of a historian to […]
Read a Bit {Journey to the Cross}
Today I have a book to prepare us for Easter. Journey to the Cross contains forty devotionals from the (in)courage community. I’m excited about this book during the spring and Easter season. It would work well for Lent. I appreciate focusing on the Advent season and finding a book, devotional, or study specific to Christmas. […]
Faith and Focus on the Unseen
For our momentary light affliction is producing for us an absolutely incomparable eternal weight of glory. So we do not focus on what is seen, but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 Mary Magdalene went early. While it was still dark. […]
My Savior, My Jesus
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be FILLED! ~ Matthew 5:6 ~ Blessed Good Friday ~ I keep thinking about it. How I don’t excel very well at unselfishness. I’m not great at sacrificing for someone else. I don’t enjoy pain. I seek peace and avoid confrontation. Conflict stresses […]

That Grand Easter Day Children’s Book
Let’s take a look at The Grand Easter Day. The book shares the Easter story in rhyming text that builds on itself in “The House That Jack Built” fashion. The pictures are a mix of soft colors and captivating tones with a painting type feel. I really enjoyed this children’s picture book and the telling […]
Pretty Ordinary Pictures Because They’re Pretty
Happy Easter! It’s only a bunch of pretty ordinary pictures because they’re pretty. I grow more and more thankful for beauty.

I […]

My Littles and Easter {Strolling Down Memory Lane}
I found myself looking at our old Easter pictures and laughing and as always, wondering how the years have galloped along so fiercely in such a fast fashion. Oh, these chubby faces and exuberant expressions and short arms and legs! Green has always been this boy’s favorite color. He dyed all his Easter eggs green this […]

Crafting an Easter Wreath
I’m EXCITED!!! I made a wreath. Well, kind of. I did not make everything with my own bare hands from scratch, from vines and branches grown in my yard and garden, from fibers woven on my loom, and from plastic melted over my own fire and paint stirred together from crushed berries and whatever else. […]
Marshmallow Peeps Surprise Cupcakes
I clicked over to Pinterest a few weeks ago to browse for a bit. Pinterest has started doing that whole picked-for-you bit and selecting pins for your feed. I hadn’t paid that much attention and probably really wouldn’t have realized they were doing this, except a few days earlier I had read a sarcastic humor comment […]
