Life is too short to not be myself…
"Everyone, therefore, who will publicly acknowledge me, I, too, will acknowledge before my Father in heaven; but if anyone publicly disowns me, I, too, will disown him before my Father in heaven." Matthew 10:32-33 OEB
Beginning with Matthew 7:1-5 and working to remove the plank from my own eye.
So, I've been thinking about writing my reflections again. I've been reading the Gospel of Matthew and really enjoying it and It's started me writing these reflections again.
This has become a difficult thing for me. My lens has changed and what I read is … confusing… frustrating… Today, I’m reading John 12:36b-43 and it’s titled, in my Bible, “The Unbelief of the People.” So, if you remember from yesterday, a voice from heaven came down, and some thought it thunder and others...

It’s Monday, and I think I’m ready to get back at this. I’m reading John 12:27-36. If you are reading with me, go do that now. I’m not going to go though it all for you today. There are couple of things that stand out. A voice from heaven spoke and everyone heard it. Some... Continue Reading →
So, I took yesterday off. I needed the break but now I’m left in ick… do I continue as I have? I read the next bit and I’m left with nothing, no thoughts, no take away… just… blank. The next verses are John 12:20-26. I’m sure there is so much fodder there for many,... Continue Reading →
Today, I'm pausing. I think my brain needs a moment. I thought I'd share, during my pause, my process in this Lenten Journey of my own making. I already shared about how I came to John, you can read that in the Day One post, but I thought I'd share exactly what I do each... Continue Reading →
This morning everything is familiar. John 12:12-19 The Triumphal Entry, what we ‘celebrate’ on Palm Sunday. It’s very familiar and so a little more difficult to find something new or something that pertains to me right here, right now. So… Just some things that stood out to me. First, “his disciples did not understand these... Continue Reading →
It’s been a day, and though I did read the scripture early this morning, I didn’t really delve into till this afternoon so…. Here it goes. I’m reading John 12:1-8 - Mary anoints Jesus at Bethany. I’ll be honest, I’m not getting a lot todqy from this… maybe I’m sleepy or maybe I’m just not... Continue Reading →
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...
