This weekend I celebrated my birthday. In other words I and those around me celebrated me!!

At dawn, look to the East – {Lent}
"Look to my coming at first light on the fifth day. At dawn, look to the East." Helm's Deep. Trapped. A dwindling, weakening army. Looking out across a formidable enemy.

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}
