Roasting Chestnuts
Chestnuts

Did I ever tell you about the chestnut roasting fiasco of 1982? «Read the rest of this article»

Prepare A Place
A voice cries: “In the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God!” ~ Isaiah 40:3
Christmas time is so busy, and most of us wouldn’t have it any other way! However, some of us would just like it to slow down so we can enjoy the season a little longer.
It’s so easy to lose sight of what Christmas is about, and the thing is, we lose sight of it while we are doing wonderful, fun and noble things at Christmas.
What the prophet Isaiah said all those thousands of years ago is good advice for our hearts today. Prepare the way, make a place in your busy schedule for the Lord. «Read the rest of this article»
