One of my favorite poets wrote a Christmas verse from the depths of his solemn despair. From that despair came an unshaken hope. Of Christ, this poet once wrote: Though in a manger thou drawest thy breath, Thou are greater than Life and Death… Even in the beauty of that first Christmas, there was an [...]

I am participating in Women in the Scriptures Five Things For Friday Blog Hop So, I got an email from one of my amazing friends and she said: I quit reading blogs for December. I love ideas too much. I knew reading about what people were doing or not doing would make me crazy so [...]

Our family was going through our annual holiday flu/stomach virus tradition (well, it’s the third year in a row, so I guess it’s somewhat of a tradition…hopefully shortlived), and while it wasn’t [...]
