This post has been sitting in my drafts since January 9th. I just let it sit and I haven't looked at it until today. I'm glad I let it be for a bit and I'm glad I happened to open it up today. As we draw near to Great Lent, the time of repentance and …

We Have All Been Healed
This Sunday, a Sunday set aside for preparing our hearts and minds for Great Lent, we read in Matthew 25: 31-46 the parable about the last judgement. The OCA website says, It reminds us that while trusting in Christ’s love and mercy, we must not forget His righteous judgment when He comes again in glory. …
New in the Shop!
I am excited to show you my new cards and prints. Psalm 118:24 Notecards and Prints. I shared with you in a recent post how this verse has been close to me since childhood but also how I've discovered the awesomeness of the NKJV of it. I love it so much I made it into …
Prodigal Son and the Resurrection
Resurrection hymnography every single Sunday continues even though we are in the preparatory period before Great Lent Begins, the Triodion. The Sundays leading up to Great Lent all have a theme and are meant to prepare us for the fasting season. The season of repentance and change, as I talked a bit about last week. …

We have found ourselves welcoming these friends into our home, sharing a meal around the table and hanging out to visit for a goodly amount of time. Twice! I discovered something. It filled my soul! And I realized that this is a …
Resurrection Reminders and More
Well, I'm not going to lie. Blogging has been difficult as of late. I'm in a dry period I guess. I thought #bloginstead and #blogtown was going to jumpstart me back into play again but it has still been a struggle. So, this is me! And I am not sure why. Something that keeps coming …
2020 Letter Writing Goals
Today is Letter Writing Wednesday! I have not written a letter or a birthday card in probably a month. I DID send over 100 Christmas Cards this year in its place. But not sending birthday cards or letters makes me very sad as I realize how many special days I have missed. Yesterday my Instagram …
