SEMINARY GAL is devoted to making the theological understandable.
Lent is for setting aside our vanities, resting our devotion to frivolous concerns or political machinations of this life, and for taking our cues from the One who was steadily marching—resolutely—toward the Cross on which He would die for humanity’s sins. It’s why I write devotionals for Lent in addition to Advent. Shouldn’t we be at least as prepared for Jesus’ return in judgment as we were preparing for Christmas?
Please consider joining me as we pray our way through Lent “Κύριε, ἐλέησον, ‘Lord, have mercy”
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday (February 18, 2026).
Welcome to my blog where I try to offer Christian perspective for standing firm for Jesus at the crossroads of faith and culture. Among my most popular offerings are the God’s Promises Cards to download for encouragement and devotionals on a variety of topics.
You can enjoy the reposts of my devotionals on Facebook or on X (formerly Twitter)

We live in a world that seems filled with disaster and disease, hardship and heartache, meanness and misery around every corner. Do you ever wonder,
Where is God in all of this?”
Maybe this applies to you or perhaps you’re on a quest to learn what the Bible says about difficult subjects from someone who understands what it means to have questions. It is here that you’ll find articles and devotionals minus the jargon that seems to be assumed by so many Christians.
This web site reflects me: Seminary Gal. Yes, I’m Seminary trained, but I’m also just a plain ol’ Gal who loves to teach and garden and cook and write.
I invite you to explore here. To ask questions. To learn alongside a Gal who doesn’t have all the answers to all life’s questions. But I am one who has encountered God enough in the midst of a world of difficulties to know that He’s not far away. I know from experience that He’s waiting for you to come home. Open the door; you’ll find that Jesus is approachable and is waiting to reveal His Father’s care for you.
While theology is a big part of my life, so is gardening.
I’m sure Adam and Eve felt the same way ever since God placed them in a garden…
If you’re here to ask a gardening question or want to take a virtual walk in my garden, check out Inspiration.
It’s part of my ministry to you as your theological and gardening friend, Seminary Gal.
