David’s prayer in Psalm 143 is our focus, following God’s timeline rather than the world’s.

In the Creativity for Writers segment, we look at three techniques to generate new ideas from the blankness.

MORE: Easter / Bright Friday with Creativity Refresh 13 / 7:13

 

As we age, we think the three most common bedtime prayers for children are only for the little people. They seem too plain for our complex lives.

Our mistake is when we try to make our prayers more when simple is better.

In looking at the simple, we often see things we have forgotten because our so-called complex lives are actually only filled with distractions.

In the Creativity for Writers segment, we look at overcoming the burdens of the daily grind by awakening our child.

MORE: Easter / Bright Thursday with Creativity Refresh 12 / 7:12

 

While the Lord's Prayer and the Apostles' Creed and even little Glory Be offer the basic tenets of Christian faith, we can still add more to intensify our daily walk with Christ.

More can mean a greater understanding of the church year, such as knowing Holy Week and Bright Week. More can also mean additional readings to add to our daily devotions.

Reading through the Bible can be a challenging daily devotion, especially when we are deep into Leviticus or the minor prophets or weeping Jeremiah. Supplementing with additional small readings can make the uphill struggle of the laws or the Lamentations bearable.

The Peace Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi is one such addition.

In the Creativity for Writers segment, we consider the hardest method of all to refresh our creativity.

MORE: Easter / Bright Wednesday, Emmaus, and Creativity Refresh 11 / 7:11

 

He is Risen! That’s the word the women gave, based on the evidence of the tomb and the word of the bright angel who reassured them.

Yet the disciples could not bring themselves to believe. They wanted to, desperately, but their earthly realism prevented complete belief.

Our focus today is on the event three days after the Crucifixion, on the day of the Resurrection, when two of the Jesus’ followers are walking on the road to Emmaus.

In the Creativity Refresh segment, we discuss the management of two guiding principles of writing that constantly affect creativity.

MORE: Easter / Bright Tuesday and Creativity Refresh 10 / 7:10

 

In this day of contemporary music and blended worship services, with guitars and drums accompanying the pianos and organs, the bland traditional services of my childhood now seem strange.

God calls upon us to make a joyful noise in praise to Him. Music creates a harmonious celebration. Psalm 150 even lists the instruments for accompaniment.

Our question today is how do we use music in our daily life?

In the Creativity Refresh segment, we focus on managing the flatness of our ideas and words and encountering roadblocks.

MORE: Easter / Bright Monday with Creativity Refresh 9 / 7:09

 

Easter began with Sunrise—the tomb open and empty, the faithful women first to see, first to receive the good news, first to spread the good news.

This week should be the most celebrated time in the church, yet it is often more neglected than any other time of the church.

Fasting and grief are over; feast and joy return. Christ is Risen!  Christ is Lord of All!

Today is Easter Monday, Bright Monday. On this day, let’s examine one of the foundational creeds of Christianity, a creed that helped fight heresies of the past and that can fight heresies of today.

In our Creativity for Writers segment, our focus continues to be ways to fuel the creative spark.
