Happy Father’s Day!

God created parents to be the walking, talking, embodiment of His love for his creations. Today we thank God for fathers.  I specifically thank God for my father who actually just visited us.

2 More Days

Well, it is almost here! The big day! Jesus’ Day! For you purists, yes, we know that Jesus was not born on Dec. 25th but we can still celebrate the gift of Christ’s birth.

Reconnected

In such a day of connectivity, we hate to feel disconnected.  Leaving our cell phones at home is a major issue.  Lack of internet connectivity is unfathomable.  It can be the same with God. For months, I have felt like my connection to Christ was going in and out.  It was like I was signingContinue reading “Reconnected”
