Come and See

Pam Weinreis • March 14, 2025

I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will have the light of life.

The Lenten season is a week in, and already you may long for a do over day.

Lent is the 40-day period leading up to Easter. It is not just a list to abstain from so we can check off the box.

It is not about self-denial but coming and seeing what you really want most.

To know our Lord.

To come and see.

You may think Lent is for our Catholic friends.

Any time we can cultivate a closer relationship with God, taking the time to detach from worldly distractions, this is beneficial.

"Jesus says to you in this moment, 'Come and see; because Jesus knows that whatever you see, you cannot unsee.'

Because: what you gaze on is what you fall in love with.

Stare at screens long enough and you may just fall in love with self-image and/or stuff.

But genuinely seeking Him always leads to following Him." (part of this is from Ann Voskamp)

Matthew4:19-20

"Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men

. Immediately they left their nets and followed Him."

John 10:27

"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me."

Come follow Jesus.

Until next time, Pam

Faithful

By Pam Weinreis • April 29, 2026

It seems like all we hear or talk about is the trouble in our lives or our nation’s division. Augustine had asked two questions of the world; “If there is no God, why is there so much good? If there is a God, why is there so much evil?”

Familiar

By Pam Weinreis • April 14, 2026

What is familiar to you? Your children's voice, your spouse, your daily routine, the road you travel? We have many things very familiar to us. Webster defines familiar: common, well known, close association. The word origin from the Latin is, "the family footing."

What Do You Do When the World's at War

What do you do when the world's at war?

Lent

By Pam Weinreis • February 18, 2026

It is day sixteen of war between Russia and Ukraine. “War can drive us all into the wilderness. Missiles drop, and we drop to our knees. We are a world wildly looking for a way out. We’re a hurting world, desperately fleeing – we see it all over our news screens.” (Ann Voskamp)
