Happy Earth Day!


This quilted wall hanging was spotted years ago at Camp Crestfield. A lovely statement for Earth Day--which is really an everyday celebration. How are you celebrating today?

Wellness

As many of you are, I'm at a point in my life that there is so much I'd like to fit into a day! I know that I can conquer what I'm called to do with peace (not frantic anxiety) if I take care of myself by eatting well, exercising and finding daily quiet time with God. One of the little things I do is to eat an apple for my morning snack.  Beyond an apple a day, my friend Kathy is loaded with great ideas for getting through your day with optimal wellness.  For years I've watched her grow in her faith, maintain a solid marriage, and parent her four children (one with special needs) by His grace...and eating well and exercise.  She's taken her passions and is sharing her experiences at Wellness Roadtrip.  If you strive for encouragement on how to "fit it all in" in a day, you will absolutely enjoy her perspective.

Lent Art Station #8-Jesus is risen!

They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women the women bowed down their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! (Luke 24:2-6)

Do you look for Jesus among the living? Do you expect him to be active in the world and in the church? Look for signs of his power—they are all around you.
