Mary Magdalene and Peter Video!
So, Chris and I did our Lent sermon for Easter morning. It fit perfect. I don’t think I did as well this time. I was SO nervous. Maybe even more than last time. But, I insisted on a video if I was going to do it again, just for you , my loyal readers! It’s [...]
Results of Blog Sermon
Well, writing my sermon as if I were writing a blog post seems to have worked well. I was able to more easily change things up and add stuff that I hadn’t typed. Usually I am to scared to stray off my notes or manuscript at all. So, thanks again to Jerrell Jobe for the [...]

We are doing this for our community services leading up to Easter. Each week a different pastor is [...]
The Nearly One-Woman Show (Plus God, Of Course)

Oh, wait, I think I just did! The worst part was worship. I just don’t know what to do up there. I feel [...]
Jesus Came to Save Us All!

And…I'm back!
Yay! The internet got fixed yesterday afternoon. I’m looking forward to making good use of it again! This morning I was up bright and early to take the hubby to the airport. I think I might die before he gets back. We have been apart this long before, but it was always me that was [...]
