Christmas Eve can entail many activities for different people. From church services to opening gifts to prowling the streets or dumpsters looking for the next meal . . .  We don't know the exact date and time of birth of the Savior of the world, the Christ child, Messiah, Jesus. All we know is He…

    I cry every time I watch this. That's who I am. It touches me down deep for so many reasons one of which is the utter miraculous aspects of Christmas. Even if it's silly snowmen willing to sacrifice their noses to nourish the horses – I mean, geez – I can't help myself.…

    Sometimes Christmas hurts, but that doesn't mean it's not a blessing.  Hoping you can remember that Jesus came on Christmas Day, born as a humble baby to die for you and me. To shed his perfect blood on a wooden cross and take our sins upon Himself to pay the debt we could…

    Another wonderful old Christmas Carol. Great songs with meaningful lyrics telling the real story of Christmas.    . . . that Jesus Christ is born! This is as close to "country" as I get. It's Christmas!    Father, you love music, musicians, lyrics, and all that proclaims the Good News of the Son…

        I don't know if other authors ever consider who the "audience" for their novels is not, but I do. In fact, I believe I can identify who my readers are not better than I can describe who they are. Authors are asked by agents and/or publishers who they think their audience…

  After a year at the University of Washington, I was an unsatisfied "ex" college student who decided to go to work full time to earn the money to travel to Great Britain and Europe. Able to convince a friend to do the same, we worked and saved and eventually made the trip which was…

            Glorious beauty at Christmastime. Love the Christmas beauty.    Father, you gave us life, light, the way, and truth in Jesus "who came to save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray. Oh – oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy." Can't thank you…

    I love this one, and it's done beautifully here. Hope you enjoy it too.    Father, you brought Jesus to make peace between you and mankind after the Fall. He is the Prince of Peace. Thank you is never enough. Holy Spirit, lead those open hearts to Him. In the Name of Jesus,…
