Welcome to TLC! 

Alive. New. Fresh. Pure.

Springtime brings a very physical renewal of the earth, allowing us to breathe fully in all the freshness that surrounds us. It is a time to refresh our homes, to change out our winter clothes for lighter wear, and to also consider refreshment for our bodies and souls.

Easter bounds forth and we again celebrate this spring the Resurrection of Our Lord, the culmination of God’s promised salvation, and the complete fulfillment of God’s grace and love. This is a time of shedding off heavier things, as well. Now, we look to the freedom of joy in Christ, alive, new, fresh, pure.

I pray that your spirits are lifted by God’s embrace in Christ, that you know the Holy Spirit walks with you, defends you, treasures you. Easter may be filled with images of bunnies, candy and eggs (perhaps less eggs as we review our grocery costs! haha), but in the heart of your soul, may the only image be of the Risen Christ.

Let go of your fears, your self-doubt, your worries for a moment in time and just breathe in the petrichor* of faith alive, of having been washed clean by Christ’s sacrifice.

Be at peace for Christ is Risen! Hallelujah!

*petrichor is that beautiful fresh smell after a rainfall.
