Tonight, I explained what Passover was to my youngest child. She actually asked me about it, and that gave me great joy. I love when these kids express their curiosity. Anyway, as I explained the plague of the firstborn, she became greatly concerned, as she thought I either put actual blood on our doorposts, orContinue reading “Spy Wednesday 2026: Their Eyes Were Watching God”

Holy Tuesday 2026: Woe Unto You
Everybody hates Mondays, but I have grown to dislike Tuesdays as well. Holy Week is no exception. Today’s scripture readings are hard. There’s Jesus pronouncing woes on the Pharisees. There’s the widow offering up all she had to give, and then there are these daggum disciples asking for signs. Now I wish I could talkContinue reading “Holy Tuesday 2026: Woe Unto You”
Palm Sunday 2026
Holy Week is one of my favorite times of the year. During this week, we get the Triumphal Entry, my beloved table-flipping Jesus, the Via Dolorosa, Calvary’s Cross, The Seven Last Words, the crucifixion and the resurrection. Though I failed to complete my Lenten Devotional reading, and my fasting was non-existent, there is something aboutContinue reading “Palm Sunday 2026”
The Shadow Docket (Purim 2026)

Spy/Silent Wednesday (Holy Week 2025 Part III)
The Bible isn’t specific about what Jesus was doing on the Wednesday before the crucifixion. That’s why some denominations call it Silent Wednesday. Others call it Spy Wednesday, as that is the day Judas Iscariot accepted an offer to betray his rabbi for 30 pieces of silver. (Matthew 26:15) I’m just going to jump rightContinue reading “Spy/Silent Wednesday (Holy Week 2025 Part III)”
Thoughts and Prayers
We barely have a week under our belts in 2025, and of course the world is already going crazy. Here in America, we have the dance of fire and ice. While California battles devastating wild fires, much of the rest of the country is battling dangerous snow and cold. It’s even snowing down south. No,Continue reading “Thoughts and Prayers”
Appreciation Post
It’s clergy appreciation month. While I haven’t been sitting under a pastor for quite some time, I still appreciate the men and women of God who have spoken over my life, and those who have walked with my family through the tough times, and celebrated with us in times of joy. I am hard onContinue reading “Appreciation Post”
