Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like Monday mornings and coffee memes go well together. As much as anything “goes well” with Monday that is. Continue reading

Must be Monday morning. Continue reading
Have You Studied These Women in the Bible?
Looking for women in the Bible? Sure, you got your Proverbs 31 woman and your Mary’s and Martha’s. But do you know about Deborah the prophetess who commanded armies of Israel? Or Jael wife of Heber, who drove a tent stake through Sisera’s head, nailing him to the ground? You probably haven’t heard that sermon.
Judges 4 gives the narrative account, chapter 5 is the musical!
This pic was not in my coloring book.
Happy Monday
We got just a couple of Easter things to clear out (just like those half-off candy clearance sales) then for most of us this week it’s back to business as usual. Continue reading

He Cannot Save Himself
A poem for Good Friday
Many questions were asked of him,
though no answer was heard.
Pilate pressed him to respond,
but Jesus spoke not a word.

It’s Friday
It’s Friday, but Sunday’s coming. Words by S.M. Lockridge. The first video is animation, of sorts, the second is scenes from The Passion of the Christ. I enjoy both.

Good Shepherd; Lamb of God
Is Jesus the sheep or the shepherd?
Just about every animal has some unique feature that allows it to defend itself from predators. Some have incredible speed, such as deer, while others have sharp claws, powerful muscles or rows of gleaming teeth. Some animals camouflage themselves into the background while the purpose of some camouflage, like that of zebra, make it difficult to distinguish individuals from the group. Even the slow, ungraceful skunk has a very potent defense mechanism. Just about every animal has something, it seems, except sheep. It’s almost as if God intended them to be food for other animals. Sheep are very nearsighted and have to be led to food and water. They cannot drink fast moving water and can actually drown trying. They have to be led to food, led to shelter, and protected from every type of danger. The Bible uses sheep of all things to represent people. Continue reading
In Christ Alone
First published in 2001, In Christ Alone has become one of the favorite hymns of all time by several metrics. In Christ Alone is considered a credal hymn expressing faith in the crucified and risen savior.
The song has been recorded and covered many times. The first version below features Adrienne Liesching and Geoff Moore. (I was a big Geoff Moore and the Distance fan back in college but that’s not important right now.) This video displays the brilliant lyrics for your consideration. The second video is a live performance by Keith and Kristyn Getty. Keith Getty and Stuart Townsend are the original co-authors.

UPDATE: It has come to my attention this my second post by this title. This post from 2009 is all about the lyrics with a link to the video. All four verses appear in their entirety with my commentary added afterward.
A Hero
This song is apparently five years old but it’s only been in the past 12 -18 months that I became familiar with it. With Easter coming up in a few days, it’s one of my favorites right now.
Happy Monday
Yesterday was Palm Sunday. This is Holy Week/ Passion Week culminating in Resurrection Sunday, more commonly known as Easter. We are doing today what we always do on Monday, offering scriptures, quotes, pictures and comics to help you get the week off on the good foot. Come back the other days this week for devotions, lessons and music videos as we prepare to celebrate the resurrection.
