What was He thinking?

April 15, 2025 By Verna Bowman 7 Comments

I went to see the fifth season of The Chosen the other night.  It ended with a holy kiss from Judas.  The famous betrayer.  I’ve binged on all the well-done seasons because it helps me to see inside the head of some of the disciples.  No - not necessarily biblically accurate but biblically dramatic.  And biblically-beautiful. … [Read more...]

Stones to Bread

March 8, 2025 By Verna Bowman 8 Comments

The beginning of the Lenten season seems to shake winter right out of our soul, no matter how cold it remains.  It brings hope.  As I’m writing, there are 11 days and 18 hours till Spring. Count 'em! The Old English word lent refers to a lengthening of days or spring.  So no, it’s not in the Bible. It’s the tradition of doing … [Read more...]

A kind goodbye to 2024.  Many of us can look back on the hard moments of the past year and are glad it’s behind.  There was the beautiful Christmas pause, but for some the joy goes out with the tree. A frosty January bleak is hard to face if we bring the bag of yesteryear with us. It's good to think of a new year as a … [Read more...]

Wonder and Ponder

December 4, 2024 By Verna Bowman 6 Comments

We’ve heard it all, even before we were listening.  The Christmas story, we've heard the same song with a different tune, endlessly. It’s either familiar or astonishing.  Since familiarity is the enemy of our faith, may we continue to be re-astonished every time we consider the amazing story that changed the … [Read more...]

His Word – My Hope

The Lord is my shepherd ~ I shall not want

He makes me lie down in green pastures

He leads me beside still waters

He restores my soul

He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.

David’s Psalm 23
