  •                                         I don't know how or why I missed Her One and Only written several years ago by Becky Wade. No excuse for it. This is "Dru's" story, the only daughter amidst three older brothers in…

  •   It's said the Wise Men came when Jesus was about two years old to the place where Joseph and Mary were living in Bethlehem. The incredible actions and obedience of his earthly father Joseph and his mother Mary following the miraculous instructions delivered to Joseph by God's chosen methods led them to safety before…

  •     This is not a picture of our property, but it could be. We've got about 9 inches and counting at 26 degrees. Not our usual weather.  We didn't exactly have a white Christmas. Flurries began on Christmas night, but by morning there were 4 inches and it just kept adding to them.  So.…

  •     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'm not a Chevy girl, but this is a truly magnificent commercial that speaks of so many things: the heartache often experienced, the memories of better times, the hope that promises a future.
