Contented
It is wonderful to wake up in my bed after several days in Lubbock TX. I was given a full blown tour of my husband’s beloved Texas Tech campus, enjoyed meals with his family and friends, and attended his dear friend’s memorial service. Thanks be to God for home! Home sweet home. There’s no place…
Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You
Today is the third Sunday of Advent and we should be singing “Go Tell It on the Mountain”! Not necessarily from a mountain. That would mean we’d have to go climbing! Perhaps we can start right here at ground zero to be joyful and full of the good news of Christ’s coming to this earth…

Bah Humbug or Good News of Great Joy
“Bah Humbug” is an expression used to show disgust at the Christmas season, made famous by Ebenezer Scrooge in the Charles Dickens novel ‘A Christmas Carol’. Ever had that “Bah Humbug” feeling? With all the “Joy to the World”, “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” and all the other songs of goodwill and glad tidings…
