I’ve been thinking about hope since before we started Advent traditions. This first week of advent focuses on hope, we lit the hope...

“There’s not much hope for a person who won’t live in the grace he’s given.”

My last blog promised practical ways to get God's word in your life and family... This is it! I love the translation of this charge in...

I did. I said ‘slow it down” because I know that if we don’t learn what we need to learn in 2020, then we’re not really moving on in 2021.

It’s time to water our faith. At this moment, 2020 feels long, waiting seems forever. I need to water my faith with expectation.

It is our job to teach them that there is a Right and a Wrong and then lead them where to go when it gets grey.

I want to correct my vision to 2020 for this next year. I’m collecting verses to help my astigmatisms, places I’ve grown fuzzy in 2019.

Time can chisel away at hope. There are days that it has toppled mine. Forgetting does a number on us. Waiting can be long and silent

I’m seeing thankFULLNESS differently... emphasis on the fullness. I get so caught up in the filling of things that I forget it isn't my job
