Advent Reflections
Quiet Time
Do you observe some quiet time in your day?
Fear, please step aside…
This card today is pretty special. First thing I noticed was the doormat, “Weirdos Welcome.” Made me smile right off the bat. I’ve always been a little weird. Sometimes too much to handle. I’ve been different, or at least I thought I was, because no one else cared about what I did. So, yeah, the... Continue Reading →
Compassion for the grumps.
I’m not going to lie, I woke up a little grumpy this morning. My allergies have been killing me, my head has been hurting, my eyes burning, my digestion has been off, I could on and on but I won’t. When I pulled this card from the deck, I thought, “PLEASE, have compassion for the... Continue Reading →
Day 11
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...

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 →

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 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 →
