2021 In Review: Merry Christmas – Christ Is Risen
We continue our look at the most popular posts of 2021 with this one from Christmas Day 2015. I understand the appeal of this one – without Christmas there would be no Easter. And without Easter Christmas would be unimportant. I’m not confused. I know it is Christmas – but the day would have no […]
Are You Kidding Me?
Today is December 30, as 2021 is winding down. That means yeserday was December 29, four days after Christmas. If you feel I am stating the obvious, put it down to my disturbed state. Yesterday, 47 days before Valentine’s Day, I saw Easter candy at the store. Don’t try and tell me it wasn’t Easter […]
Our Second COVID Easter
So here we are again. Didn’t they tell us last year was a one-time event? But let’s not go down that rabbit hole, or at least not today. We may be in the middle of an apparently unending global pandemic, but there are some universal truths that still remain. The biggest is that which we […]
The Twist
I’ve shared this song with you before, but it has been six years and warrants another listen. Easter songs are full of joy. On Good Friday there’s a different feel. We know today that joy is indeed on the way, but it is still a somber occasion. So many of the lines from this song […]
2020 In Review – Christ is Risen – Merry Christmas
Bringing Easter and Christmas together is something I like to do. They are a package, but our culture tends to treat them separately. What I didn’t expect was that my 2015 Christmas musings would be the second most viewed post here in 2020. I’m not confused. I know it is Christmas – but the day […]
2020 In Review – Remembering Johnny
Another four-year-old post was your ninth most-viewed piece here in 2020. Johnny Hart was someone who managed to integrate this faith and his work life. Even when he was preaching, he was entertaining. Which explains why, 13 years after his death, his comic strip continues with two of his grandsons and a daughter in charge. […]
Celebrating Easter 2020
For those in the Orthodox and Coptic traditions (and a few others) Easter is celebrated a week later than other Christians. In recognition of that, some reflections on the Easter we celebrated last Sunday. Someone in Sulzburg had a great idea, though I’m not sure how successful the execution was – but that may be […]
Easter Morning
Today is a day of celebration. Forget the pandemic and dance with joy – today is Easter! I was looking for an Easter graphic to use in a different publication when I came across this post from Easter Sunday 2015. A lot has changed in my life and in the world in the past five […]
The Day In Between
This post first ran in 2016. Today seems like a good time to repeat it. I did add a word – ca o figure out which one? This is the in-between day. Yesterday was Good Friday. Tomorrow is Easter. Sorrow will be turned into laughter. Mourning into joy. They didn’t know that in 29 A.D. […]
Good Friday 2020
It feels strange not to be going to church today. Meeting virtually, though necessary, won’t be the same. It is a day of hope mixed with sorrow. The joy of Easter was an unknown on that first Good Friday. Rather than provide a reflection on the day like I usually do, here’s a post from […]
