A while back I wrote about my need for accountability when it comes to better health and weight loss. Then, wouldn’t you know it, I got some not-so-good lab work results back that made me have to rethink these things from a different perspective. Then came Easter.

An Easter Focus
This year I have decided to spend the entirety of the latter half of Holy Week focusing on Jesus. I don’t want to let these meaningful days pass me by without diving into true reflection on them.

SILENT SATURDAY

My favorite quote by Martin Luther is this: “Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime.” I think about this quote every spring. I love springtime in Texas. I love to watch the trees slowly begin to be born again. It seems to happenContinue reading “THE PROMISE OF THE RESURRECTION”
