Good Monday afternoon, y'all! Typically I have been posting my Book Club notes on Mondays but as of lately that has been hard. I missed last week and had incredibly busy week. And now we are on the home stretch towards Holy Week and Pascha so I have decided to take a short break from… Continue reading Book Club Break and Merch!
Even in the middle of Lent we get glimpses of the Resurrection! I love it so much! This is late Sunday evening because I just got back from an anniversary camping trip. I posted on Thursday that it was our 27th wedding anniversary. My hubby and I had a beautiful trip to a lake just… Continue reading Resurrection Reminder!
This week marks the very middle of the fast. Last Sunday was the very center. As we head into the end of the fast may we find strength and encouragement from this hymn... This hymn is actually sung this coming Monday, the perfect time for a boost of encouragement to keep going. Today we sing… Continue reading Middle of the Fast

This chapter was somewhat familiar to me. I've read it three times now and I've actually written about it on KofJ before. In fact, I was tempted just to reblog one of my posts about it but I decided not to. I'll reference it though. It is pretty astonishing to me that as I sit… Continue reading Book Club Monday – Chapter 6 Notes
Happy Resurrection Sunday to you all! I know this is late, but somehow, over the last few days it completely slipped my mind to get this post ready and scheduled. We did get to see my father-in-law for the first time in over a year so that made for an exciting last few days. It… Continue reading Sunday Reminder
Reading the Psalms as often as possible brings such peace and calm into my life. I have worked really hard to make this a part of my daily morning routine. On hard days it brings comfort and encouragement. I find nourishment for my soul. Here is one that fed me lately. May you also be… Continue reading Ready is My Heart
