On the 12th Day of Christmas….Epiphany
“On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me…….” Let’s talk about those 12 days of Christmas. The true Christmas season starts on Christmas Day, the 25th. And it marks the official start of the 12 days of Christmas, and that relentlessly stick-in-your-head Christmas carol. But there’s so much more than the…
My Christmas Gift to You
The Birthday Party is over – or is it? Maybe the party just got started! Jesus’ birthday isn’t one day only. It is a party that goes on from here to eternity. Jesus has been celebrated by those of us who believe in Him. For others, He has been tolerated because many think Christmas is…
Worship = Warning = Rewards
On Sunday, my blog was based on the Wise Men’s words “We have come to worship Him.” I couldn’t resist – one more blog about the Wise Men, their visit to the Holy Family and “worship”. The final line of the scriptures of that story describes what happened, AFTER they worshipped the newborn King. “Then,…
Bringing our Gifts of Worship
I love that my children, Staci and Larry, named their 60+ acres ranch, Epiphany Ranch. Epiphany was the name of my husband’s missions and message ministry for many years.

Our Home on the Range Christmas
Tuesday, the 23rd I traveled to Rusk TX to celebrate a sweet and tender Christmas with Larry, Staci, Payton, and Alexia.

I’ve had many “epiphany” moments when I could see something clearly when I understood “that” or when I was reading a Bible passage I had read many times before, but this time, I really understood it.…
Have You Ever Had an Epiphany?
You know that sudden realization – that aha moment – when you suddenly understand the reality of something or the meaning of something. I’ve had many “epiphany” moments when I could see clearly what someone meant when that said “that” or when I’m reading passages from the Bible that I’ve read dozens of times before,…
Celebrating Epiphany — The Wise Men Showed Up to Worship
Epiphany, or the 12th day of Christmas, falls on January 6th (but celebrating on the closest Sunday — today, the 8th) and it marks the official end to the wonderful season of Christmas. That’s why so many of us wait until after this day to take down our Christmas decorations. Epiphany means manifestation of God…
