Monday, Monday

“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:20       Happy Monday!       Why the excitement?   Because today is one more day that the Lord has made—beyond the egg hunts, the chocolate bunnies (ears gone by now-yum), the church services and the dress […]

The Unforced Rhythms of Grace

“Are you tired? Worn out?…Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me […]

Don’t Forget

“Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose.” Matthew 5:17     Our Jewish friends will be celebrating Passover in a week.  A time to reflect when God moved mightily in a land called Egypt and rescued the chosen people from enslavement.  A time when death fell upon […]
