As I write this, it’s Good Friday. I’m thinking all day about the immensity of the love of God for every one of us— Love large enough to make a plan to save you and me from our sins forever… before the world was even made. Love large enough to leave the...
That one-of-a-kind Passover night over two-thousand years ago, Jesus invited His disciples to join him during his hours of greatest trial and human need. In the dark of night, eleven of the twelve joined him in the Garden of Gethsemane for a few short hours of prayer. As you probably...
As we approach Holy Week starting this Sunday, Palm Sunday, I’m reminded how far off the mark my understanding can be of what God is actually up to. The Jewish people of Jesus’ day held some massively incomplete views of what their Messiah would do, when he would do it and who...

Tomorrow we have opportunity to celebrate another Christmas Eve…together! A true celebration it is, even if you are grieving this year. I was reminded of that in a poignant blog our daughter, Joanna, posted today. It’s a beautiful read (or listen, if you...
It’s beginning to look a lot like ADVENT! As I write this, I’m watching out our front window a parade of people and cars slip and slide down the icy road coming out of this year’s Manito Park Christmas light display (“Enchanted Gardens Drive-Through Light Display...
