Another Samson reference
There is just nothing like Maundy Thursday service. Our congregation begins with corporate confession and individual absolution, and it is absolutely a gift from God in every way. And, there is nothing like the Chief Service on Good Friday! Nothing at all. <blissful sigh> Today, I’ll share with you another Samson reference, keeping things Christocentric, humbling, and marveling.

Wellness
I’ve been back in the throes of writing poetry, so you’ll pardon me if I keep things a bit short and extra even-keeled over here. 🙂 Back in February, I posted a piece on church worker wellness resources. Well, I hadn’t gotten to say that there was an LCMS project to provide online devotions for church workers on areas of vocational, relational, financial, and emotional wellness.

A Riddle
Ok, writers. To be in tip top shape, it’s good to use your brain. 🙂 There. Now the post pertains to a main purpose of this blog. Really, though, I want to tell you a riddle!!

Ironies of Holy Week
We had a lovely Palm Sunday service. The children sang. Palms were waved. The Supper was served. But again it strikes me: the ironies of Holy Week.

Passion Book
Hi! I’m back and I’m sure happy about it. 🙂 But let me tell you, it sure is nice to remember that I’m first and foremost a multitasking mom/writer rather than a blogger. I’m in a MUCH better position with my other projects, and now my head is back in the game for blogging and my usual other stuff, too. In today’s post, I get to share with you another wonderful free Lutheran resource. Rev. Andrew Richard (who has also shared a great assortment of resources, including a thirty-day devotional book on marriage) has put together a Passion Book available here.

Breaking a little longer
Hang with me, guys. I’m not leaving the blog for good—I promise! I even have ideas sketched out to blog daily (M-F) once I’m back.
But it sure looks like I let things get piled up. And, I have a few bigger projects I want to work up.
I hope I’m not leaving you hanging or that this hiatus is bad timing. I’m still rooting for you, Lutheran authors in general, and Lutheran content!! But a girl’s got to do what a girl’s got to do.
More to the point, however, I think everything in my life will run a little smoother if I can go ahead and wrap some stuff up. But time can’t come from nowhere.
Signing off for probably another few days or a week at the most. 🙂
(At least this isn’t an existential crisis!)
Affectionately,
Mary

Disaster Hymn Text
Ladies and gentlemen, please wish me well for the week ahead! Like I said yesterday, I plan to take most of next week off from blogging to catch up on other things. Having said that, tune in Monday because I’m reviewing a most excellent book, Shadow among Sheaves, for its debut! Beautiful writing, captivating story. Anyway, for your reading pleasure today, I get to share with you a hymn text sent in to me as a guest post by Lutheran author Mary Antholz. It is a disaster hymn text applicable to the terribly flooding we remain so mindful of.
