WHAT DOES IT MEAN? [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyHg7lIbSug?rel=0&w=560&h=315] The world comes into focus as we discover Christmas. Each year God peels back a layer, rich with newly appreciated memories and formative ones of the present. I look forward to it more and more …and begin to celebrate, decorate, and sing carols earlier and earlier with each passing year …in […]
December #jammed: Grace, gifted. Day 361: Finally here. “…the radiance of the Lord’s glory surrounded them. They were terrified…” Luke 2:9 If we succumb to a fast paced life that isn’t suited to shelving schedules and opinions to stand and welcome God’s presence, we will miss a marvelous piece of the Christmas story. Chills run down our […]
This is the society that we live in, and we have to find a way to unite in prayer for each other, especially at Christmastime. All families are challenged to maintain an unrealistic amount of patience with difficult family members at Christmastime, but the power of prayer can cut through any awkward situation. No matter how blended we may be, God hears us, He loves us, and embraces us!
Christmas can make us feel like we’re crazy. We abide in an ever-increasing “PC” society that refuses to give the holiday’s namesake it’s greeting.

The wear reflects the reality of life […]
December #jammed: Grace, gifted. Day 355: Christmas presents …and limits. “Then they opened their treasure chests and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.” Matthew 2:11b “He came! HE CAME!!!” The piles of presents under the tree and the magical looks on my kids’ faces as they ran down the stairs will be etched into my […]
December #jammed: Grace, gifted. Day 354: Aim for average. Mary kept all these things in her heart and thought about them often. Luke 2:29 NLT Motherhood is ridiculous. It completely changes us from the inside out. The outside starts falling a part, and the inside grows more rapidly than our emotions can keep up with. Every concern […]
December #jammed: Grace, gifted. Day 352: Blankies. “She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth, and laid Him in a manger…” Luke 2:7 “Reach,” I encouraged as my two-year old stretched up onto her toes and reached her arms up to the hospital basinet where her new baby sister slept, “you’re almost there!” Through tears in my […]
