Her heart brimming with the Word of Life…
sees Him hidden in the ordinary…
and reads His love notes tucked into the day.
The story of her soul authored by His grace.
It’s the secret of her smile from within…
and her posture of Praise.
EXPECTANT…

Has life clipped your wings? …
Perhaps you have forgotten the Source of your soar…
“…rejoicing in the Lord must be your strength.” Neh 8:8:10b
“We have to go out and talk to people in the city whom we’ve seen on their balconies. We have to come out of our shell and tell them that Jesus lives…to say it with joy…even though it seems a little crazy sometimes.” Pope Francis
“For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save what was lost.” Luke 19:10
Technicolor JOY…
Colorfully expressed through the uniqueness of who we were created to be.
Not a hippy-hoppy-happy indifference toward those around us.
A kaleidoscope of souls reflecting prisms of the light of truth…
WE ARE NO LONGER DEAD IN SIN.
But ALIVE in vibrant hope of new life…
Reflections of the Praise of His Glory…
Lights to the Lost…Beacons to the Broken…
Joy lived in Love
Yes, we are the Easter people and Hallelujah is our song!
“May we shout for joy at your victory, raise the banners in the name of our God.” Ps 20:6
What to do?…
in the mixed up, muck filled, muddled mess of the world?
in the darkening, dismal, disconnected, depressing days?
A friend whispered….
defiant joy…
defiant joy?
Ah Yes, DEFIANT JOY!…
challenging, daring, defying, commanding JOY!
bold, brazen, hardy, gutsy JOY!
resistant to the opposing force…
DEFIANT JOY!
“rejoicing in the Lord must be your strength” Neh 8: 10b
