I’m a day late, but for some reason Blogger wasn’t working last night, and I couldn’t log in to my blog. So, I sat in a chair drinking tea, watching the final episode of “The Bible” with Robert and the kids, and being thankful for the wonderful season of Lent and the great Resurrection Day… Read More Celebrating Together {Resurrection Sunday!}
It is so full and so crazy, but I do so love this week. The Seder on Wednesday night was ~ “so beautiful.” That’s what everyone kept saying, anyway, and I had to agree. The beautiful part goes far beyond the table settings and candles to the number of people gathered to remember the sin,… Read More The In Between Day: Death and Expectation {Lent Day #47}
Happy Good Friday! I have had a busy day already, and now am heading out the door to take Kory to the airport. He’ll be visiting two colleges there that he’s been accepted to, but has never seen. He’s now got only one month left to decide where he’ll go to college in the fall.… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Deviled Eggs {Lent Day #46}
So, this is one of the pieces of artwork I got to see while slowly strolling through the Boston Museum of Fine Arts last week. I think the religious artwork is partly why I’m drawn to the European Art section. Some of them are sort of ridiculous and based on unlikely legend, but some of… Read More Thanks and Bread and Betrayal {Lent day #45}
Whole Foods Cashier: {surprised} “Is that horseradish? That’s a lot of horseradish!” Me: {laughing} “Yes, it IS horseradish. And it IS a lot! Whole Foods Cashier: “Do you mind if I ask what you are going to do with all of that horseradish?” I quickly explained that I was making 15 Seder Plates for a… Read More Bitter Roots, Sweet Trees {Lent Day #44}
{Re-posting this today ~ since it’s Passover AND my brother’s birthday. Celebrating him today, and all the Lord has done in his life and his wife’s life ~ and now their life together. They gave exuberant permission to share their story, because it glorifies our Passover Lamb, Jesus ~ and all that He has done… Read More Passover Crimson, Snowfall White ~ Again {Lent Day #43}
The questions was “What turn of event in your life has the Lord used to perfect you as a worshiper of Him?” Around the tables small groups of women began to answer… “I lost my job last week, but I start a new one tomorrow.” “I had a baby a year ago.” “He broke our… Read More Tender Tears {Lent Day #42}
I know that yesterday was also “Day #40” but I just realized that I skipped from #26 to #28 a while back, so today is really day 40, and maybe I’ll go back and change the numbers of the posts at some point!?! Today is Palm Sunday. When I get to church in a little… Read More Perfume and Palms {Lent day #41}
Still away today on Cape Cod for a women’s retreat. Would you pray for the time if you think of it? Thought I would post these links ahead of time, since I won’t have my computer with me. Can’t believe it’s already day #40 of the Lenten season. Holy Week begins on Sunday, and I’m… Read More Keller & Elliot on Confession {Lent Day #40}
Passover, Good Friday, and Easter are just around the corner, and I can hardly wait! I think it is my favorite week of the year. We’ll do a Passover Seder for over 100 people next Wednesday night at church, a Crosswalk through town on Good Friday and later that evening a sort of Tenebrae service.… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Brisket for Passover {Lent Day #39}
