  2. Maundy Thursday Shadow Sketches

    As part of a Service of Shadows for Maundy Thursday April 2, 2026, these sketches were drawn as each “shadow” of Christ’s final hours were read. I had a general idea before hand but for the most part each came together more or less spontaneously during the reading. I used a large flip chart in front of the congregation. As each candle was blown out, I flipped to a new page and once the reading began, started a new sketch. We then created a kind of gallery of the finished shadow sketches in the church.

    View all of the “shadow sketches” at https://www.deviantart.com/peacegroover/gallery/100765113/service-of-shadows-maundy-thursday-2026

  5. Between Perfume and Silver

    On this day, before the supper, before the garden, before the trial, Jesus stands in the narrowing space between love and betrayal.

    One hand pours out costly perfume. Another reaches for silver.

    One disciple offers a gift too deep for words. Another calculates a price.

    And Jesus receives both the devotion and the treachery without turning aside from the road ahead.

    Holy Wednesday is a quiet day in the Gospel story, but it is not an empty one. It is a day of gathering shadows. A day when motives are revealed. A day when the heart is weighed. Around Jesus, some are moved by love, others by fear, others by disappointment, others by greed. Yet Christ keeps walking.

    There is something unsettling in this day because it reminds us that betrayal does not always come with a shout. Sometimes, it comes in a whisper, a private arrangement, a hidden bargain, a small surrender of the soul. Sometimes, it comes clothed in reason, practicality, or wounded expectation.

    And still, Jesus goes on.

    He does not flee the darkness gathering around him. He does not harden himself against love because betrayal is near. He allows himself to be anointed for burial. He receives tenderness even with the cross before him. He remains open.

    Perhaps that is part of the invitation of this day: to ask what is being poured out from us and what is being sold off within us. What in us loves Christ freely? What in us bargains, withholds, calculates?

    Holy Wednesday is a mirror.

    It is the day that asks whether we will offer perfume or silver. Whether we will cling to Jesus only while it is safe or remain near when the cost becomes clear. Whether our devotion is real or only convenient.

    The shadows lengthen. The story moves on. But even here, before the worst has happened, love is still poured out. That, too, is part of the Gospel. Before the nails, there is perfume. Before the cry of abandonment, there is this fragile, beautiful act of wasteful love.

    Perhaps that is what we are called to today: not greatness, not certainty, not spectacle, but costly love offered while the shadows fall.

    Amen.

  9. Try a different Lenten fast.

    Give up the snooze button and offer the first moments of your day to God. A short prayer in the morning can shape the whole day and build a habit of faith. Small sacrifices can lead to lasting joy. ✝️⏰🌿

  12. Measuring Up to Jesus

    The other day when I was on Social Media a quote I saw from sales guru hit me: “You become what you think about all day long”. It made me ponder on what I think about every day, which lead me to realize how much my thinking – and lifestyle – has changed over the years.

    I used to be more selfish, helping and serving others with the end motive of serving my own needs and ego, and praying for my own needs – talking to God more than listening. St. Francis says [that] it is through giving that we receive, and I took it literal.

    Today … when I give of myself I don’t look for what I receive, because the real gift is how God is blessing others through me .. which I may never see. My agenda has become God’s agenda. Said another way, I live my life as a prayer.

    If we focus our attention on bad news and gossip, and distractions, we will miss God's incredible, visionary, optimistic purpose for every believer: to grow so much in our faith that we shine like beacons to everyone around us!

    God's vision for each church is that we would grow so much in our love for God that we'd love people the way He loves them: unconditionally and passionately.

  24. 🚀🤦‍♂️ Ah, the riveting "Lent and Lisp" saga where Dr. Drang heroically battles the existential crisis of... missing Ash Wednesday in a blog post?! Because clearly merging religious holidays and programming languages is the content the world was desperately waiting for. 🥴📅

  25. Lent is a time to grow.

    Fasting from criticism can change your heart. When you pause before judging and choose kind words instead, you build peace in your relationships. This simple practice helps you grow in humility, patience, and mercy. ✝️🌿💛
