Lent Thing is a recurring theme
Lent Thing: Less Grievance/More Gratitude The final sentance in today’s readings was: “Do to others whatever you would have them do to you, this is the law and the prohets” Matt 7:12 I sat on this most of the day because I was torn between all of the readings. But this was the one that…
“A clean heart create for me, God; renew in me a steadfast spirit.” Psalm 51: 12 This line is from one of the Penitential Psalms. It is in the middle where the psalmist is changing from asking for forgiveness for his sins and replacing it with asking to be drawn closer to God. A clean…
Less Grievance/More Holiness It has been a tough time at my work. With my pastor leaving everything is uncertain and in flux. Since it is Lent, there is little rest as I try to maintain the online presence and the programs activities. I do this while being part time (ha!!). It is my youngest daughters’…

If you obey the commandments of the LORD, your God, which I enjoin on you today, loving…

The Narrator reads as an observer and chronicler of sorts, the Speaker speaks the other roles, the Priest is usually Jesus while the Chorus is…
Two years have passed since I wrote this post and life has slowed down considerably. Though things are still hectic when balancing five different lives in one household. I have decided not to try to do everything at the same time. Consequently, life is calmer, because I am calmer. My house is cleaner because I…
