Oh good grief… why is it, every time I decide to really start using my budget again, or I plan my day of things I need get done, something always happens to throw one or both off. Sometimes, I just wonder why even bother. Lol Not really, things happen. It’s just part of life but... Continue Reading →
Day 6
This morning I’m reading John 11:45-57. The Plot to kill Jesus. It sounds so sinister and yeah, I guess it is. In this telling in John though, we hear that Caiaphas is prophesying and not speaking of his own accord. I find that so interesting. Caiaphas prophesied what was to come and then was...

Monday Ramblings
Today, I’ve been working on our income taxes… I’m usually done way before now but honestly, I completely forgot about it! Not good. Anyway, I finally got it all together and started working on it and came to the part that asks, “What does Sherri do for a living?” For a while there I got... Continue Reading →
Day 5
Okay so this weird, but as I grabbed my bible this morning, looking for today’s reading, the end of yesterday’s reading glared at me. I mean it just jumped off the page so I’m going to start there and it may be all I do… I haven’t decided yet. We will see… So, this morning... Continue Reading →
Day 4 of my lenten journey
I’m reading John 11:38-44 today. This is when Jesus raises Lazarus. What a miracle! But I seem to have gotten stuck around verse 42 or just before. Jesus says, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me…” This got me at first, I was almost angry reading... Continue Reading →
Day 3 of my lenten journey
Today I’m reading John 11:28-37. I’ve read this passage many times and I’ve heard others read and preach on it many times as well. I’m pretty sure I’ve even written a devotional on it. That being said, I have several thoughts on this and I’m not sure how to best share them. Let’s go... Continue Reading →
Day 2
So, today, I’m looking at John 11:17-27. Jesus goes to the family and friends of Lazarus. Martha goes out to meet Jesus and they have a meaningful conversation in which we can see Martha’s great faith in Jesus. In who he is and what God could/would do through him. Jesus says, “I am the resurrection... Continue Reading →
Balance
Do you ever have dreams that are so real but not at the same time, and you wake up really angry? That was my dream this morning. It was a dream you have sometimes when you wake up early and decide it’s not time to get up and yet and fall back asleep. Well, it... Continue Reading →
Day one…
I’ve been thinking a lot about the Bible lately. What it says, who it is written for, what it means. I’ve taken it more personally too. What does the Bible say to me, what does it mean to me, how exactly was it meant for me? I’m someone who when I read the Bible I... Continue Reading →
My journey into Lent
I haven’t made it any secret that I’ve been struggling with my faith over the last few years and it’s just as true today as it was when I shared it the first time. Though today, I’m thinking it’s more of a struggle with the church than my faith but that too is confusing. The... Continue Reading →
