  • Day 60

    Well, here we are, day 60 of my 60 day blogging challenge. It has for sure been outside of my norm, but I feel like doing things outside of what we normally do is a way to grow. I wasn’t sure what all I would write about during the 60 days. For the most part…

  • Watercooler Talk

    I have a long list of podcasts I listen to on a regular basis, one being the WP Watercooler.

  • Holy Tuesday

    There were a number of religious groups in Jesus’ day, one of those groups were the Pharisees. The Pharisees were held in high regard in the Jewish community during their day.

  • Holy Monday

    Today is what is called by some as Holy Monday. In some of the Baptist circles that I grew up in, and as is the case in several other denominations, Holy Monday (and other days of passion week) isn’t as celebrated as it is say in the eastern church. To be honest I feel a…
