Bah Humbug or Good Tidings of Comfort and Joy
“Bah Humbug” is an expression Ebenezer Scrooge said to show disgust about the Christmas season. Maybe it’s an expression that you may not say out loud, but you’re still feeling it. With all the Christmas songs of comfort, joy and peace, I would be remiss to think that we are all in a perky, celebratory…
Christmas Divides Darkness from Light
It’s here at last! The most wonderful time of the year! I think we’re singing that song a little louder and prouder this year. We sure needed Christmas and its many symbols and songs and THE BABY to light up the darkness we have encountered this year. I needed one little set of clear Christmas…
What to do When We Don’t Know What to do
I know so many of us have been in a quandary during these many months of the pandemic. “What do I do next?” “How can we make it?” “What can I do to make ends meet?” “Who can I go to for help?” Those questions were even more emphasized when my niece’s daughter broke the…
Check Out This Peace Zone
My daughter and I met up to nail down our supplies and food list for Payton’s annual-birthday-celebratory fishing trip next week. Always his birthday request! Meeting at their courtyard was the perfect place. You can see by Emma’s peaceful demeanor, it is definitely a peace zone. That is – until another dog strolls by and,…
Prayer is the Key and Faith Unlocks the Door
Prayer is the Key and Faith Unlocks the DoorI defer my writings to this beautiful prayer today — the day our President declared it to be a National Day of Prayer. May we pray it with complete faith and trust in our God — with Whom nothing is impossible:???Prayer for the Coronavirus Epidemic Crisis???LORD JESUS,…
And He Shall Be Called Prince of Peace
Happy 4th Sunday of Advent! Our journey is leading us to the birth of our Savior. We’ve embraced each Sunday’s symbolism in the Advent Christmas wreath’s candles. The first Sunday was hope, then faith, last Sunday’s was joy and today, we light the last purple candle to mark the final week of our journey. This…
Jesus Loves Me – This I Know!
Life happens. You hit and fractured your toes when you ran into the end of the door and have to go to the ER. You were attacked by woman-sucking mosquitoes and now you must carry an anti-itch “After Bite” oil for relief. You have to call an Exterminator to get rid of the pests. A…
Peace is Possible….Even in the Midst of a Storm
In my post, yesterday, I mentioned that maintaining peace is what I protect the most. I do my best to stir clear of conflict and if, by chance, that I do encounter some less than peaceful moments, I just ease in closer to my Prince…..of Peace. Since I know that Jehovah Shalom, my God of…
The Happiest Place on Earth
Disney World — it’s supposed to be the happiest place on earth — but I guess it depends on who’s saying it and feeling it. That’s where the Wallace’s and I are heading today. I know it’s a stretch to think I would be interrupting my Lenten “desert” and solemnity for going to that fantasy/magical/wonder/pixie…
The Purpose Driven Life
The Purpose-Driven Life I saw this photo and I knew it would be my post for today, December 8th. It touched me so much as it reminded me of God’s grand scheme to send His only begotten Son to this earth with the ultimate purpose of dying on a cross for you and me…..so that…
