Vessels of Light

Good morning!! Guess what? “YOU (and I) are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house.  In the same way, … Continue reading Vessels of Light

The Two Voices

Listen up, Self! Today, there will be two voices to listen to. There will be the quiet Voice of Truth whispering to my soul…and there will be the screaming lies of the Master Deceiver.

Taking Us and the Garden Back

I always struggle with calling today Good Friday. When we get to this day, my heart hurts when I think of what Jesus endured on this day so long ago. It doesn't feel good. My 8 year old even asked me that about a week ago, why it was called "Good" when it was the day Jesus died, and I needed to hear the answer again for myself. It's Good because of what Jesus did for us. It's Good because this is the day He showed us just how much He loves us by giving His life for us in the most painful and shameful way. "He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to death--even death on a cross!" (Philippians 2:8)
