The In Between Day: Death and Expectation {Lent Day #47}

 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}

Gluten Free Friday ~ Deviled Eggs {Lent Day #46}

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.

Thanks and Bread and Betrayal {Lent day #45}

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}

Tender Tears {Lent Day #42}

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}

Perfume and Palms {Lent day #41}

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}

Keller & Elliot on Confession {Lent Day #40}

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}

Recalling, Remembering, Rehearsing {Lent Day #38}

Her text message was urgent and despairing. Anxious, uncomfortable, wanting to hide.  She’s a thousand miles away this week, so a phone date had to suffice.  Stuck and hopeless.  I urged her to reach out and be honest with another ~ no more hiding, no more shadow-living, no more deceiving. Nope. Not happening.  It’s too… Read More Recalling, Remembering, Rehearsing {Lent Day #38}
