It is literally a sunny Sunday here in the Pacific Northwest. A very welcome sight after record breaking, what seems to be, non-stop rain. Sunny Sundays and Resurrection Reminders, two terms I coined as I've been working on reminding myself how truly blessed Sundays are in that we celebrate the Resurrection of Christ each and… Continue reading Sunny Sunday

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… Continue reading Resurrection Reminders and More
Resurrection Reminders
Oh! How I love these reminders! A day late, these "reminders" were given to us yesterday, Sunday...Sunny Sunday! Even in the midst of winter (technically it is still fall though), the dark days. In the midst of Advent and on our way to Christmas, we are reminded He has resurrected Adam's race and granted eternal… Continue reading Resurrection Reminders
Lead All Into My Kingdom
This Sunday reminder we hear during Diving Liturgy...it is chanted by the reader during the singing of the Beatitudes.

Death is Overthrown
The joyous message of the Resurrection is ours to hear, "Death is overthrown! Christ God is risen, granting the world great mercy!" It makes me happy to sing this. This sentence is so powerful! It peels away the heaviness that has been weighing me down. I feel as if I have been overcome by heavy… Continue reading Death is Overthrown
Enlightened!
I have started taking early morning walks lately and it has been truly inspiring. It has become clearer to me, even more so, that all has been enlightened. All of creation that is. I will never tire of it's explicit beauty all around. Rich in colors. Intricate in detail. While walking I often find myself… Continue reading Enlightened!
Resurrection Reminders
Today's Resurrection Reminders comes a tiny bit earlier than usual. In our services at Church we have a Vespers service each and every Saturday evening. This service is in preparation of the the Sunday Divine Liturgy and it is when we sing all the Resurrectional Stichera hymns. Tonight we sang a hymn that actually mentions… Continue reading Resurrection Reminders
Free Us From Our Sufferings
Today we sang this beautiful hymn, reminding us that our Lord trampled down death, freeing us from our sufferings! Christ is Risen, every day! See Him all around, in His creation. Magnificent, bright, beautiful world.
Kindler of Joy!
