JOY . . .

People want it.

People want to know how to get it.

People want to be around those who have it.

What is joy, really? What does it look like? What does it…

It was an austere, stark night of contrasts in Bethlehem, when the angels announced to the shepherds that our Savior had been born, bringing peace to earth. Peace, not the absence of war, but peace to our inner worlds and to our…

Sometimes our lives do not get the message that this is supposed to be both a holy and joy-filled season of the year. The fact is--trials do not let up. For starters, in the last week, I have had the privilege of praying for two young women battling…

Hope! you can feel.

Our hope is neither flimsy nor fleeting; rather, our Hope has a name: Jesus. Long before He was born, the Heavenly Father told of his coming, giving him the name Immanuel.

Grateful or Ungrateful?  You get to pick your seat!

Good Day!

Do you think God ever looks at a calendar?

Well if he does, I bet he likes Thanksgiving Day best of all--I bet it is his favorite day of the year!

Perhaps this is the set-apart time of the year in which we please God the most.…
