I'm giving only scripture prompts with the photos this week. Use them as you meditate on the daily themes. Do my pictures speak to them, or are they a stretch? TUESDAY, MARCH 29: SERVED Mark 10:45 For even the Son of Man did not come to BE SERVED, but TO SERVE, and to give His … Continue reading 2022 Lenten Photo-a-day Challenge Week 5: March 29- April 4

Lenten Photo-a-Day Challenge Week 4
Enjoy some brief daily thought-stimulators for each picture. TUESDAY, MARCH 22: SHARE Do you consider yourself a generous person? Is it easy for you to share your blessings with others in need?

These thought-stimulators are not so much for you to know what I think about the photo, but to jump-start your own spiritual examination. The word theme and picture spoke to me.

Squeamish About Blood?
A teenager sat with me in a tiny room of the residential treatment center.

She showed me the scars that ran up the length … Continue reading Squeamish About Blood?
