Because we aren’t able to gather together in person for Holy Week services, several clergy got together to bring Holy Week services to you. For Maundy Thursday, we decided to have a zoom dialogue about the significance of the last supper during this pandemic.

I had the pleasure of welcoming my husband, Dr. James Rogers, to the pulpit this past Sunday. Though he doesn’t preach regularly, he does have a doctorate in Theology and I’ve always been so impressed by the thoughtfulness in which he approaches his faith and articulation of it.

It is on a rare quiet and rainy Saturday morning that I write this post. My son is with my parents this weekend, Ivy is taking a long morning nap, and therefore, I told my husband to sleep in a bit more since he stayed up with Ivy until 2 a.m. putting her to bed.

The Christmas season is now upon us, which is apparent not just in the festive cups at Starbucks, nonstop carols on the radio, and SNOW (yes, crazy amounts of snow fell in southern California during Thanksgiving week!), but also in church life.  

I had a tough week about two weeks ago. A combination of factors probably contributed to my low and hypersensitive mood. I had just gotten back from a lovely vacation and going through piles of emails and work does not make for a pleasurable return.
