Letting our Christmas Joy Be About the Joy-Giver
Here we are on the other side of December’s half-time! It’s December 16th — only 9 more days until the presents are all unwrapped, we’re eating our Christmas breakfast and some of us are singing “Happy Birthday, Jesus”! For me, I’ll be driving home from my East Texas’ family’s Christmas Eve traditions to join my…
Merry Christmas to You and Yours
Happy Birthday, Jesus! Joy to the world the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King! Many joys and blessings to my dear, encouraging, and supportive, friends and family!

Prepare Ye the Way for Children of all Ages
Merry Christmas! “Prepare ye the way of the Lord…..” were Isaiah’s prophetic words (Isaiah 40:3) and John the Baptist repeated them in advance of Jesus making His debut. (Mark 1:3) And, when Jesus made His debut, it was because of His Father’s love for ALL of His children. EVERYTHING about Christmas is about children of…
I Can Hardly Wait
My son sent a photo of he and Shawntel taking friends with their little two-year-old girl to see Austin’s spectacular Trail of Lights. They’re getting that little one started early. And that’s what my parents did for me. As a child, some of my fondest memories of Christmas included the drive to look at Christmas…
Unto Us a Child is Born — Happy Birthday, Jesus!

Would You Like a Slice of My Humble Pie?
So, if you follow my posts, you probably saw me dressed up in an elf’s costume for the recent ginormous “Happy Birthday, Jesus” Party for the homeless and impoverished at the Dallas Convention Center. That costume was once a Peter Pan costume that I made for my University of Manitoba Halloween office party 25-years ago.…
Merry Christmas and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESUS!
Merry Christmas and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESUS! It’s the birthday of our Savior! A day of celebration and joy to the world on this beautiful Christmas Day. Yesterday, I was blessed to be a communion server at my church. It hit home to me that the baby boy sleeping in the manger came to die, so…
Christmas is All About Giving AND Receiving
These photos capture a day of Christmas “love” like none other! I met Susie Jennings in October. Susie is the Founder and President of Operation Care. Susie stepped out in faith and obedience to God when she resigned from her nurse supervisory position at Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas in 2011 to become a full…
Happy Birthday, Jesus!
It ALL happened in a moment, a most remarkable moment. God became a man! Heaven opened up and placed her most precious ONE in a human womb that brought Him to this side of heaven. Yes, so many reasons for a GINORMOUS birthday celebration today! It’s 4 am on this Christmas morning, and I’m about…
