I’ve been thinking about my heart these days because I had my third heart surgery in five years a couple of weeks ago. That coupled with an impending birthday has me reflecting upon this very vital organ. I hope it is strong. I hope it is healing properly after this last surgery. I hope it […]
Blue Mary stands tall above her guardian angels and her seahorses. She dares not look to her right to glimpse her son, Red Jesus. She stood strong as he hung upon the cross. She held her head high even as he was humiliated. Her tears fell. Her hands shook. But she wouldn’t leave her son. […]
Every week as I drive to and from church, I see Red Jesus and Blue Mary. Some days they whisper words of love and faith on days when I am struggling. Sometimes I am challenged by the faith of the family who honors the Savior and Mother Mary and how they understand you can’t have […]
I used to laugh about making lists. When I was younger, lists were optional because my brain was able to keep up with everything. Or it wasn’t so full of worry and stress and responsibility at least.

Matthew 26:57-75 57 Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas the high priest, in whose house the scribes and the elders had gathered. But Peter was following him at a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest; and going inside, he sat with the guards in order to see how this would […]
Matthew 26:31-56 Then Jesus said to them, “You will all become deserters because of me this night; for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ 32 But after I am raised up, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.” Peter said to him, “Though all become […]
Yesterday was Palm Sunday and we joyously entered the sanctuary waving palm branches while singing “Hosanna, Loud Hosanna.” We have begun our journey through Holy Week and Christ’s last days. I invite you to join me throughout this week read the scriptures and reflect upon this journey in the days ahead. Matthew 26:1-30 When Jesus […]
