Christmas is over. We had so much fun and laughter, sharing and spending time with everyone. The years seem to fly by faster and faster. We have parents, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren all together at the same time. What an amazing blessing. We learn to treasure each moment that God gives us because those moments go by so quickly. Our kids grow up in the blink of an eye and we sit and wonder how we got here so fast. We begin to count down the days until the new year begins. We make plans and Read more…

My evolution as a Christian continues. The other day, A Charlie Brown Christmas comes on. It was perfectly timed because my daughter had one of those ‘playing indoors and hitting the 55” HD TV’ wrong moments (see the 12/29 ‘God’s Righteous Anger’ Devotion), and I really wasn’t up for my initial reaction. So, I’m laughing as Snoopy boos the announcement of Charlie Brown, his owner, as the director and Schroeder plays ‘Jingle Bells’ practically breaking each piano key for emphasis. Then of course my heart warms as the Peanuts gang Read more…
