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)
If you’re unfamiliar with the term, it is shorthand for when the US Supreme Court issues rulings or procedural motions without a full hearing of arguments.

ThisContinue reading “The Shadow Docket (Purim 2026)”

Somebody went viral for his derogatory comments about the dress from the pulpit. (For the record, I thought the dress was beautiful. I wish I could pull it off and thatContinue reading “You Can’t be Serious!”
Women’s Ministry: A Rant
If you know me, then you know that I’m Baptist-born and Baptist-bred and when I die I’ll be Baptist dead. I am one of those girls that memorized the church covenant and knows all four verses of my favorite hymns. Sometimes I wish they’d bring back Baptist Training Union, and then I remember I likeContinue reading “Women’s Ministry: A Rant”
Teaching Tuesday (Holy Week Part II)
Jesús spent the the day on parables and prophecies. He taught on every taboo topic he could think of. If Sunday was about Jesus and Empire Monday was about Jesus and Economics Tuesday is about Jesus and Education. I do not necessarily believe that knowledge is power, but I do think that it is aContinue reading “Teaching Tuesday (Holy Week Part II)”
From Worldly to Whack: Tye Tribbett Keeps Challenging the Church
Disclaimer: I didn’t listen to the Breakfast Club interview. I have never listened to any Breakfast Club interview. Unless and until they are interviewing one of my relatives, I will probably not listen to any Breakfast Club interview. Please do not tell me I need to listen to the entire interview. I’m not interested. WhenContinue reading “From Worldly to Whack: Tye Tribbett Keeps Challenging the Church”
