March 31st, 2005 When it comes to Easter candy, Dan and I subscribe to two very different philosophies. I am the cautious one, telling the kids to enjoy just one or two pieces at a time–after eating a proper lunch, of course–so that we avoid belly aches and no one’s nutrition or dental hygiene is compromised. Dan, on the other hand, believes we should throw caution to the wind and let the kids March 30th, 2005 to change her mind.

May the crosses in our lives be for us invitations for growth and new life as we place our trust in you. Renewed by your love, may the way we live proclaim you as Lord: you who are the Way, the Truth March 24th, 2005 Some years I am well-prepared for a holy Holy Week with the kids. We spend the early days of the week cleaning the house in preparation for Easter. I pre-plan our Bible story readings so that we are arrive at the washing of the feet and the Last Supper just in time for Holy Thursday and at the crucifixion for Good Friday.
