Mary, Did You Know?
My claim to fame….if it weren’t for me — my children wouldn’t be. And God needed a vessel — one He favored above ALL women — to be the Mother of Jesus. He chose Mary to BE the First Lady of our Faith. She was found faithful. And what faith she had! She was the…
Christmas is So Much More
I remember watching “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” with my granddaughter a few years ago. In spite of the Grinch’s onery, grumpy and absolutely the WORST attitude when it came to “Christmas spirit” (stealing and destroying anything that represented Christmas), the Whos sang joyfully on Christmas morning.
