Devotional Thoughts
Fortunately, I have had some time to read some extra chapters recently. I admit reading about Eve and Adam’s travails after the horrendous decision was made due to a prostrate looking Lucifer. It was after the harrowing decision that God cursed all of the future in this species to be slithering reptiles. Yet for the…

A Happily Ever After
Some of you may remember some articles last Fall about car accidents. I had the first, my sister-in-law the second and then the 3rd was the Preachers daughter at my parents church. When I first heard the wedding would be in January I have to admit my envious heart said that it was my birthday…

Star of Wonder
Day 25 was Christmas Day. The Purpose of Christmas is so that We Could Have Courage. Through the years this has been a struggle for me. Growing up in Church and having a Music Ministry was nourishing for me; it never felt like work or a burden. It was my ministry and such a passion…

Tuckered Out… But Smiling
After a long weekend a bit of a break was needed. Since last Thursday I have felt like I haven’t been able to catch my breath. Plus I didn’t have any Pepsi, or Dr. Pepper in a couple of days. So Monday after Christmas dinner I literally fell asleep for a bit on Christmas Day.…

Days Leading Up To Christmas Eve
It’s funny I know that my best made plans can come unglued due to the very nature of being in the Christmas moment. Some of my happy moments this week came from baking. Although the elocution of delivery was a little difficult. Making these goodie platters has been fun but they have a purpose to…

Devotional Catch-Up Again
Wow so because of some Christmas excursions and appointments and life I am putting these together. Both are heavy topics. None of the Herod’s in the Bible were any good, but this particular one is despicable in so many ways. Although Herod Antipas beheading John the Baptist is in the same atrociousness. Back to this…

What do you usually do for Christmas with your family? How has it changed for you as you have grown up? Have you created new traditions? Cooking and baking have been a big factor in my family traditions. Also becoming the Chief Elf for Grandma Rosemary was exciting and fun to find the Stocking Stuffers…

Wow! It’s Day 18
Joseph, like Mary, had a unique role in Christ’s birth story. He knew he wasn’t the father of Mary’s child, but he listened and believed the Angel in his dream. Can you imagine taking on that responsibility knowing your adopted child was the Messiah? I love learning these Greek words and their meanings. So we…

Star of Wonder Day #17
The young maiden chosen by God was humble. A lot has been taught about Mary through the generations and years since. Her name according to Ms. Hunt like many is Miriam and was named for the original Miriam from Exodus Moses’ older sister the prophetess. I love this detail: the name either comes from the…

Devotion Day #14
Today’s topic is the Maccabbees, Mattathias was tested by a Seleucid official to eat pork a restrictedfood for the Jews and to make an offereing to a pagan god. This man killed the representative making a bold stance and emboldening his 5 sons to do likewise and take up the side of righteousness. Judah was…
