As I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. This is why this blog exists. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension. I've always wanted to write. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog. I continue to learn every day. I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I know I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. I have One through Jesus, Christ. My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on Amazon.com.

WHY DO WE CELEBRATE HOLY WEEK?

HOLY WEDNESDAY
I’ve already given Judas his time in print, but many consider Wednesday of Holy Week as “Spy Wednesday,” because Iscariot betrayed Jesus on that day for 30 pieces of silver. It’s possible that this occurred midweek, but this disciple had … Continue reading
THE MOUNT OF OLIVES

GOOD FRIDAY?

THE ULTIMATE BETRAYAL

EASTER BUNNY VS. JESUS
As I was doing my weekly grocery shopping the other day, I was amazed to find a whole section devoted to Easter bunnies, chocolate eggs, peeps, sugary treats, cavity makers and artificial grass – along with baskets of all sizes … Continue reading
DESTRUCTION OF A TEMPLE
READ JOHN 2:13-22 Today, as we consider the burning of Notre Dame Cathedral and all its worldly treasures, hearts will ache and tears will fall. This building has stood the test of time through wars, scandal, revolution, discouragement and hatred. … Continue reading
ROMAN SOLDIERS
