Today has been a celebration of all that the Lord Jesus, Our Sacrificial Lamb, accomplished on our behalf! It was also a celebration for me “Ending my 47 days of ‘no dairy, no sugar’ Fast.” This day of celebration began with scrambled eggs, a cinnamon chip scone and coffee!

Life Beyond the Grave (Day 47)
This is supposed to be my last day of “no dairy, no sugar” fast for the month of March which I extended until Easter: Resurrection Sunday, April 17, 2022. I am a bit disappointed for it to come to an end because I do not want to fall back into old habits in thinking or … Continue reading Life Beyond the Grave (Day 47)
Good Friday (Day 46)
I asked Siri to explain what Good Friday means: the Friday before Easter Sunday, on which the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ is commemorated in the Christian Church. And as it has been asked before what good is there in a day of crucifixion? This horrific day, which was like no other day that has ever … Continue reading Good Friday (Day 46)
A Garden of Grief (Day 45)
Beautiful gardens have always captured my attention. The peaceful serenity of shade trees with flower lined paths where a person can find renewal from the hustle and bustle of the world. Jesus and his followers regularly got away to the Mount of Olives. It is there we enter the Garden of Gethsemane. And [Jesus] came … Continue reading A Garden of Grief (Day 45)
Oh! How beautiful is He! (Day 44)
I love to be outside when the temperature is agreeable. Today, I spent most of the morning working in flower beds and cleaning pollen from my front porch. A nice breeze blew gently, and it felt pleasant … until noon. But while outside, I began thinking of Jesus and His disciples in the Garden late … Continue reading Oh! How beautiful is He! (Day 44)
I AM HE! (Day 43)
God is for us! Scripture repeatedly affirms, God is for us. He desires that no one should parish but all to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, His Son (2 Peter 3:9). As a result, Jesus’ earthly ministry fulfills the Father’s will not wasting one moment on the unessential. Jesus stayed in tune … Continue reading I AM HE! (Day 43)
Humble King & Messiah (Day 42)
As I stretch to make it through this last week of my “no dairy, no sugar” fast, I remembered a book written by my pastor. Pulling it from the shelves, I eagerly began digesting the scenes described in detail of my Savior’s Last Week. Join me each day recalling what He experienced. Travel back … Continue reading Humble King & Messiah (Day 42)
“Lord, open our eyes that we may see” (Day 36)
The news hit me like a ton of bricks! How could anything good come from it? But just as soon as my thoughts started to go down the wrong road of “what if’s,” I immediately turned to the Lord asking for spiritual wisdom, and to give me eyes to see just as Elisha prayed for … Continue reading “Lord, open our eyes that we may see” (Day 36)
Looking Back (Day 26)
Looking back over my posts from previous “dairy & sugar fasts," I'm reminded of how graciously patient the Lord is with me. Time after time, He stoops down to encourage my heart even though I often lag behind. He never gives up on me, and He never stops pursuing as He lovingly draws me to … Continue reading Looking Back (Day 26)
Timely Correspondence from Prison (Day 23)
Day 23 of my “no dairy, no sugar” fast As I sat trying to decide which direction to go – as far as my post for today is concerned – I received an email from my nephew in prison. Recently, I’ve encountered issues with the mail not getting to him and being returned with a … Continue reading Timely Correspondence from Prison (Day 23)
