A Special Santa Memory
Santa visited our home every year on Christmas Eve. Jesus always came first. The children’s program was always on Christmas Eve. We learned our “piece” for the story and hoped we wouldn’t forget the important Bible verse when our time came to speak. I think I remember being an angel a time or two. After […]
He Came as a Baby – He Reigns as our King of Kings – and We Are Royalty
How I wish to quote a line from a worship song this past Sunday, but we’ll go with the gist of it instead. All of us are poor beggars, average Joes and Janes, but when we trust King Jesus as our Lord and Savior, He makes us royalty, promising us an eternal home in His […]

Are You Suffering from Touch Starvation?
We’ve been forbidden human touch. We’ve become afraid of human touch, but we’re also missing it. In these days of COVID-19 lockdowns and social distancing extending far beyond the two weeks to flatten the curve, we’ve had one of our most basic needs stripped from us. Basic needs are usually considered to be water, shelter, […]
Coffee or Dinner with Jesus while We Stay-at-Home
If I were to ask what you miss most during these days of stay-at-home orders because of COVID19, I believe most would say it is gathering with family and friends — sharing a meal or a cup of coffee, celebrating a birthday, attending a wedding, hugs. . . It wouldn’t be the trappings dollars can […]

Would You Trust Wisdom of an Owl for Your Graduate?
Look for graduation cards, and you see the owl motif often. After all, he’s a wise fellow, right? Nope! A quick search reveals many species of birds are wiser than the owl. “But, it turns out, though they’re excellent hunters, owls probably aren’t any smarter than a lot of other birds. In fact, they may […]
