The Lamb and the Entry ~ Whoa!

In Preparation of the Lamb
I love my Jewish heritage. No, I wasn't born a Jew but the King, through Jesus, the Lamb of God, adopted me. The legacy of the Jewish customs especially the Passover enriches our Easter experience. Last week a wonderful friend of mine, Kathryn, sent me a book, Christ in the Passover. I am enjoying learning…

Go Ahead, Pray Really BIG
A few weeks ago, I read the book, Heaven Is for Real. It’s a little boys astounding story of his trip to heaven and back. I read it in less than a day. I was thrilled, had goose bumps, wrangled with some the secrets he shared about the afterlife and I was flat out craving…

Are You Desperate?
There came a day. That day when I finally said, “I can’t do this anymore.” I am a determined and self-sufficient woman and for “that” day to finally arrive, I was truly at the end of my rope. I was desperate. I couldn’t have one more argument over my faith with him. I was done…

Meet MaryLu Tyndall
Finally after five years I am humbled to meet MaryLu Tyndall. Marylu came to our very fist book signing this past weekend at Berean, San Jose. It was a blast by the way. This is her between Dineen and I. Marylu was unequally yoked until she finally had given up hope that her husband would…

What a Twitter?
Do you tweet? Well sometimes I get over to my TweetDeck and try to keep up with all the incessant yet compelling whirs and whistles. I will open up the Twitter deck and the next thing I know I find myself lost in a vortex of crazy conversations, hash tags I don’t understand and giggles…

Submit To Your Husband. You Win in the End
Submit to your husband. Why is it, this very short sentence makes my emotions bristle? For far too many years the teachings from Ephesians 5:22 have been misunderstood and misrepresented. So let’s have some real and honest talk about God’s intention of this passage and let’s take it a step further. Can you submit to…

Glee and Other Thoughts – The Chronicles of the Donovan Clan
I hope you read the comments from my Monday post, Television and Our Kids. There are some very wise parents who offered their thoughts and reflect on some of their past interactions with regard to their children and the media.

Television and our Kids
So I’m bugged. And I’m going to have to chat about it. I’m opening up a bucket of worms in controversy. But if we as believers don’t talk about some of this stuff how are we going to help one another? So I’m bugged about television. On several levels. I may not have all of…

A Very Different Post
Today’s post is different. What is living on earth really all about? Can you say that you honestly understand why you are here and what your role in life is? Do you know that there is only ONE thing that is of concern to the human race? Only one singular thing must be our focus?…
