Lent- Day 36: Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?
My palms from Sunday, twisted into a cross. Please note, I have no idea how to do this and just kept bending until I got this. On Sunday at church, we read from Matthew 27. Verse 46 always breaks my heart: About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli,…

Lent- Day 32: Be you.
While straightening up earlier, I came across the above picture made by Z. She explained it as, “the name of my new song I’m writing.” She never ceases to amaze me. The message- “Be you.”- made me smile. A little command to remain. It made me think of I Corinthians 12:14-27: 14 For the…

(Image via Buzzfeed; Evan Hurd Photography / Getty Images) Remember how I talked about the Missing Richard Simmons podcast last month? Well, it wrapped, and while it did make me think, it won’t hold too much space in my personal pop culture collective. Maybe it would’ve had more room if I hadn’t listened to the very…

Lent- Day 29: 13 Reasons Why.

It left me… not just speechless but wordless, to the point I couldn’t post. I couldn’t post on it or anything. Instead, I read a number of articles about it. From my favorite…
