I’ve Got This
During Lent, I am taking a journey with Jesus to the cross using a book called Journey With Jesus by Larry Warner. I am going to periodically post thoughts on that journey here. The book invites me to enter into … Continue reading
Reflections on a Long Absence from God
(I wrote this the Saturday after the children and grandchildren left on Friday) Today I feel like a young wife returning home after a long trip, a long absence and abstinence from her husband and lover. My five grandchildren (7, … Continue reading

A Presence to Be Reckoned With
Jesus was often followed. Crowds tracked him down seeking healing, truth, deliverance, and hope. It was hard to escape, and frequently he found himself surrounded by people simply wanting to touch him. He was, above all things, undeniable. He was … Continue reading
