Spy Wednesday 2026: Their Eyes Were Watching God

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”

Holy Monday 2026

This is my favorite of all the Holy Week scripture readings. I can;t always relate to Jesus’ words and actions. Lord knows that I am far from a miracle worker. I don’t always think, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” But walking into a sanctuary and immediately wanting to knock everythingContinue reading “Holy Monday 2026”

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”

You Can’t be Serious!

For more than two weeks, I saw y’all post 101 commentaries about that lady’s dress. Some of y’all even wrote commentaries about the commentary. 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!”

Easter Monday (Holy Week 2025)

As a good Baptist, I love an Early Sunday Morning. My favorite service of the year is a sunrise service at a church just down the road from me. They didn’t have a service this year, but I was able to catch a sunrise service at one of my favorite YouTube churches. I love theContinue reading “Easter Monday (Holy Week 2025)”

Maundy Thursday (Holy Week Part IV)

For me, this is the hardest day to unpack. So much happened in such a short time period. I’m guessing Jesus rested on Wednesday because he knew he would need the energy for Thursday. On this day, we get Jesus washing his disciples feet, the keeping of the Passover/The Lord’s Supper, the disciples arguing aboutContinue reading “Maundy Thursday (Holy Week Part IV)”

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)”
