    I Will Wait for you in the in Between

    Today is the day to pause in the stillness between Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

  • The Friends of Jesus

    As we enter Holy Week, I am reflecting on the friends that were around Jesus as he made the final walk to Jerusalem.  In that motley crew of disciples we don’t often hear the names of the women who surrounded Jesus.  We know his mother was there, and Mary Magdalene.  We hear of other women…

  • Helping the Friend we will Likely Never Meet

    The world is so big, but technology makes it small.  And accessible. And friendly, if we want, through Zoom and blogs. Friends of this blog, from more than 135 countries each day — tens of thousands each week – have spread love and friendship in this Lenten Season. Few know each other. We speak in…
