Today’s Gospel Reading is John 13:21-32, Jesus is having the Passover dinner in the upper room with his disciples. It’s a little bittersweet and sometimes I would just like to avoid this passage. But we can’t, there are too many lessons for us to learn. Lessons about love and friendship, lessons about choices, lessons about love and betrayal,…..
Today’s reading is John 12:20-36. What I find interesting here is that the reading begins with people who were on their way to ‘the festival’ telling Phillip they wanted to see Jesus. Jesus then speaks to his disciples and the crowd and at the end of the reading, Jesus hides from them.
Odd to think that Jesus would…..
Today’s Gospel Reading is John 12:1-11. Those of us who are familiar with this part of the story have heard about the exchange of words between Jesus and Judas when Mary used the costly perfume to anoint Jesus’ feet. Judas thought it was a waste to spend the perfume on Jesus when it…..
One thing that has stood out to me quite often in the reading from Luke 19:28-40 is this short phrase, ‘find a colt that hasn’t been ridden . . . the Lord needs it’
I have prayed about this verse many times throughout the years. There are so often tiny pieces of Scripture that are skimmed over and never discussed. When I read I always ask God to help me see and hear something he wants people to notice.

You think you have stress preparing for Easter? Too much happening during Holy Week? Too many people to visit for the ‘Holiday?’ Consider again the thought of Praying Your Way Through this week while thinking about the stress Jesus endured preparing himself and his disciples for the Last Passover Meal he would share with his disciples, the last…..
We live in a very fast paced world and slowing down doesn’t come easy to the vast majority of people. Besides being fast paced, many people are competitive. I spent a number of years as a wife and mother in a direct sales career where I succeeded mostly by competing with…..
Recently an email came through asking to share an inspirational verse with other people. One that pops in your head when you’re in need. Isaiah 55:9 has been a verse that has come to my mind very often when I’ve been in need of comfort, assurance, answers. This is a verse that settles deep into my…..
In the church we are often reminded that Jesus only had three years of ministry.
Those three years are still being thought about and talked about because they brought about such astounding changes in the lives of so many people over the years. Over the years . . . most of the people who have been impacted by Jesus’ three years of ministry have been impacted by them after his death, after his resurrection and after his ascension. Those three…..
There is alot of talk about wisdom in the bible. One of my favorite verses is Matthew 11:19 which states how wisdom is determined, how it’s discerned and identified – by actions.
When I chose the subtitle of my book, Praying Our Way Through Stress, I chose ‘Drawing Wisdom from the Lord’s Life and Prayer’ because…..
I’ve been thinking about how Christmas comes upon us making things new year after year throughout generations. Whether it’s celebrated with Santa Claus or Jesus or both. I grew up with both influences. Santa made sure nobody went without a gift – every boy and girl all around the world would receive a gift – a nice one – or coal. The whole naughty or nice thing really puts pressure on kids to behave and control themselves as parents feel…..
