Life is too short to not be myself…
Happy Easter! Seems a little surreal this year to me. I can’t really explain it, but thankfully, as I opened the door to let the dog out, I thought, “Wow, it sounds like Easter!” The birds were chirping, the squirrels were screeching, there was a slight breeze that felt cool. It’s a beautiful morning, that... Continue Reading →
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...

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 →
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 →
