Holy Week I love this time of year. Spring has rolled in. Trees are greening. The smell of growth and bloom is in the air. And, I love the week we call “Holy Week.” The celebration of Resurrection is the greatest event on the calendar – for believers and followers of Christ it is the… [Read More]

Lent - The Warning

The Warning We are entering the most solemn and holiest of weeks. Jesus’ final earth days and He is in full-on “teach them now 101” mode.

the real lord’s prayer

March 23, 2016 by admin 38 Comments

The seventeenth chapter of the Gospel of Saint John is, by far, my favorite chapter in the New Testament. My grandson, Simon, and I used to listen to it while driving in the car. I was certain he would memorize it. The reason I love it so is… context, context, context… I am not going… [Read More]
