Filled with wonder once again: Third Sunday of Easter
Happy Resurrection Day, friends! Easter Sunday kicks off a seven-week festival in the liturgical calendar known as Eastertide or The Great Fifty Days. I'll be posting daily each day of the Easter Octave and each Sunday following that. May you know new life, peace, and hope today, tomorrow, and forever.

Amen

“I'm lingering in the life-giving resurrection season. Nature reflects new life out of the seemingly "dead" of winter. The bud that bursts open in bright beauty or the neon green leaves that suddenly appear one day on barren branches, reminds me to worship the God of resurrected life in the everyday. How about you? comment below where you are reminded of God at work in seemingly "dead or hopeless" circumstances?”

“A friend said this phrase yesterday and it captivated me: "behold the glory of God in green". The desert, usually so brown, is a stunning array of greens right now. Behold!”
