Post of the Week From Around These Parts
“Let this Holy Week dismantle everything that isn’t about eternal things.
The Wednesday of Holy Week can either be “Spy Wednesday,” where our preparations for Easter betray Jesus, to buy what isn’t really worth it.
Or our Wednesday of Holy Week can be “Silent Wednesday” — where we quiet our hearts and retreat into the sacred silence and beauty of God.“
These words applicable for all our living, but especially important this week…

“He is not here. He is risen, just as He said.”
(Matthew 28:6)

What If Your Past Is A Present?
all because He LIVES!
glory, glory, glory… come along with us this beautiful weekend?
All that matters during Holy Week…is just friendship with God.
To wait with Him in the Garden…
to let Him kneel & wash your wounded places…
to stay with Jesus,
to keep company with Jesus,
to keep watch with Jesus,
right to the end.
He let Himself be forsaken of the Father —
so we in our sinful brokenness,
would never, ever, ever be forsaken.
All that matters today — is staying close to Jesus…
Today, we could stop & feel the humming Peace
of something sacred in our veins, enlarging our lungs.
Even in our darkest places—
look for it, feel along for it—
there is the light of Christ’s graces.
[excerpted from our little Facebook family … come join us each day?]
That’s all for this weekend, friends.
Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.
Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again
Share Whatever Is Good.
