A Tale of Two Sisters
It should have been the happiest day of her life. Her wedding. It was not. She felt fear, hurt. She was scared. For the moment though she was safe - protected by her veil. Hidden by her veil. But in a moment that would change. The veil would be removed. Her husband would see her.… Continue reading A Tale of Two Sisters
Against all odds
We can all have bad days, hard days, days that could be considered a waste of makeup! Days when we think it's just us against the world. Fortunately for us most of the time that's just a figure of speech! I take heart from Elisha though. Here he was just one man, with a servant surrounded by an… Continue reading Against all odds
In my Father’s House
I sat in an empty church the other day. One that I don't attend, or ever have for that matter. But as it so happened, my Father was taking the services there. I was there with him and my mother as they busied themselves with the preparation for the Services the next day. Growing up… Continue reading In my Father’s House

Even now, as I read these books again as an adult, I can’t help but be captivated by the world of Narnia that greeted… Continue reading The Door – {Good Friday}
O Sacred Head, Surrounded – {Lent}
O sacred head, surrounded by crown of piercing thorn! O bleeding head, so wounded, reviled and put to scorn! Our sins have marred the glory of thy most holy face, yet angel hosts adore thee and tremble as they gaze I see thy strength and vigor all fading in the strife, and death with cruel… Continue reading O Sacred Head, Surrounded – {Lent}
The Traitor and the Betrayal – {Lent}
It would probably be true to say that not many of us will be unscathed by a betrayal or a hurt from a friend. Over the course of our lives most of us would have at some point been let down, hurt or betrayed by a friend. I know I have. Sometimes unintentionally, sometimes intentionally. It can come in… Continue reading The Traitor and the Betrayal – {Lent}
