A Man Went Free!
Easter is coming soon! Holy week starts tomorrow with Palm Sunday! My favorite holiday! I miss the routines of the holidays that we established when the kids were little. I miss the Ukrainian egg decorating with the Triggs, the sunrise service over Lake Michigan, and watching the kids racing to find the plastic eggs before…

April 6th – Good Friday!
17 months ago Jim went to heaven, and I wish I could stop counting that anniversary, but it falls on other big days like this one. Good Friday. It is truly good because without it I have no hope for heaven. I am awed that God loved me so significantly. So completely. I am amazed…
April Fool’s Day
It is spring break in other parts of the country. It is interesting because it was never a big deal when I was growing up in southern California. But when I moved away I began to understand why! In a Word – WINTER! And that is not a season that is part of California! We…
