Easter blessings

For some reason I’ve been at a loss for words to describe my Easter Sunday. OK, maybe they are coming now … 

I’m blessed to know & worship the Risen Christ! I’m grateful for the Goodrich UMC family, choir & leadership. Pastor Stephen’s focus on God’s message of love in every season — Christmas, Easter, joy, grief, tragedy, new life, whatever comes — is changing lives. May we all know that God’s love is for each & every one of us — & that we experience heaven on earth & into eternity as we share His love with others, however we can. No act of kindness is too small. And yet, I’m grateful for the reminders that none of us can do it all. God loves & accepts us exactly as we are — even if we don’t accept ourselves or can’t imagine that God or anyone else can truly love & accept us exactly as we are. Nothing can separate us from His love. 

(And how cool it is for me when He sends special friends & purring angels along the way!!!

Good Friday lament

 I’m grateful for each step of faith & progress, no matter how large or small. I didn’t go to Good Friday service altho I listened to some online. I did a load of laundry & walked 20 min on treadmill, slowly due to knee pain. I tried to work on clutter; it seems like I just moved things; tiniest bits of progress. 


It’s Good Friday & the eve of 30th anniversary of the Murrah bombing. God, please grant me serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; & wisdom to know the difference.


I need help. I want to get this living area cleaned up. I want to vacuum. I want to not feel guilty about not calling or texting Pam today. I want to believe I don’t have to be perfect. I want to let go of things I don’t need. I want to be free of the bondage of clutter & self & self. Help me, Lord, I pray.

Yesterday’s Wordle post:

Dang! Now I have to come up with a new starting word! This one was a variation of my long-time previous one (SHARE). They both served me very well!!


Today’s Wordle post:

Oh well! That was a hard one. (KRILL)

My new starting word tried to help. Instead, my latest streak ends at 186. No shame in that.


Last Supper choices

I went to see “The Last Supper” at The Warren with friends on Thursday. We thought it would be The Chosen one. It was the Chris Tomlin one. So, now do I go see three more Last Supper movies? (“The Chosen Last Supper” is at theaters in 3 separate parts.) Or should I give that $50 to the church or the poor & wait to see The Chosen in TV? I haven’t watched previous seasons of The Chosen, so I’m not sure it will be worth it for me to jump in at the Last Supper. But I really enjoyed going with Carrie, Kathy, Linda, Freda & Belinda.
