happy holy week


The beginning of holy week reminds me of one of Erik's favorite sayings:

"Dear God . . . if a carpenter already died for our sins, why did you have to take Karen?"






And borrowing an idea from fellow blogger Chris, here's a picture of one of my hellebores (also known as Lenten roses), almost ready to bloom right on schedule. I got them a couple of years ago after attending a little seminar at Gethsemane. And if I remember correctly, hellebores are supposed to have lots of medicinal uses and have also been used in witchcraft. Regardless, they grow really well in the shade in the backyard.

Hooray for botanical photography. Nicely done. In honor of Holy Week I wore my holy crossword t-shirt this weekend. "Way of describin' Jesus? CARIN CARPENTER"
