Today is Holy Monday if you’re one of the Christians who celebrates Holy Week. I have to be honest. In the past, I haven’t celebrated more than Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday, but this year without all the hoopla that generally goes into these celebrations, I’m looking for a bit more. Normally thisContinue reading “Holy Monday”

Watering The Seed
Have you ever planted a garden? Maybe it was a flower garden, or maybe it was a vegetable garden. When we were young, my family purchased a mobile home with about 2 acres of land around it. My dad planted roses in the front of the house along our long driveway. Then he decided toContinue reading “Watering The Seed”
Restoring My Soul
I love rehab shows. You know the ones that take an abandoned derelict old house and fix them up to be the best looking house on the block? I also like those restoration shows. The ones where they take antique and vintage items and restore them to like new condition. I am amazed at theContinue reading “Restoring My Soul”
Resiliency
Most of us agree that the time we’re in right now is unlike anything we’ve ever dealt with before. The loss of jobs and the loss of interaction with our friends has probably made us anxious and overwhelmed. Sudden changes to our everyday routines can result in trauma. Now, most of think of trauma asContinue reading “Resiliency”
Hiding From God
Peek-a-boo and Hide n’ Go Seek are some of the first games we learn as children. They help us with concepts like object permanence and trust. They make our babies smile and laugh. When we play these games, there’s very little fear involved. Oh sure, my toddler might get a bit anxious if I don’tContinue reading “Hiding From God”

We don’t want to have to wait. We definitely don’t want to have to wait long, and patience? Well, patience is something weContinue reading “Waiting on God”
Exercising Your Faith
Exercise. Sometimes I feel like it’s a four-letter word. I really hate to exercise. At least I really hate to do exercise routines. Doesn’t matter if it’s at a gym or at home. I hate it. But if I want to have a healthy body, I need exercise. If I want to have a heartContinue reading “Exercising Your Faith”
Our Anchor
An anchor is an important piece of sailing equipment. Your anchor keeps you from drifting with current or wind when you’re out in the open water. In a storm, the anchor keeps the bow pointed into the wind and can prevent damage to the boat from being run aground or pushed against rocks. In calmContinue reading “Our Anchor”
Cultivating Joy
God wants us to enjoy our lives. He wants us to experience joy every day. In fact, Jesus said in John 10:10 (AMPC) that He came that we “might have and enjoy life and have it in abundance, to the full, until it overflows.” If Jesus came so that we might have and enjoy life,Continue reading “Cultivating Joy”
Saint Patrick
As an Irish-American, St. Patrick’s Day is one of my favorite holidays. I love to celebrate with family and friends, and while St. Patrick’s Day in the US is mostly an excuse to throw a parade and get drunk, that isn’t the way it’s traditionally celebrated in Ireland. In Ireland, St. Patrick’s Day is aContinue reading “Saint Patrick”
