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 →
Pause
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 →
Day 8
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 →
A sleepy Day 7
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 →
There’s always something…
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 →
