When I was young, every Christmas Day my family and I would go to my Grandparents house to meet up with all the other grandchildren, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc., to eat, make merry, and exchange gifts. We always ended up getting a gift we really, really wanted. It took time, effort, care, phone calls between …
Not many men would be so kind as to stand by a fiancé who was with child from another, even if it was the Holy Spirit of God. I’m sure Joseph agonized over what to do and scripture even says he came up with a plan to go ahead and marry Mary then quietly divorce …
I am sure Mary had a lot of fear as she and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem while heavy with child. How did she tamp down the anxiety? What did she do to make the travel not so scary? When did she realize the strength within her enabled the perseverance to keep going? Faced with so …
“When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?” Psalm 8: 3,4 To ponder such deep meaning leads us on journeys to Truth we cannot fathom. Now is …

My prayer for the world today is for us all to embrace the magical moments of Christmas in Peace, Perspective, and Presence. Christmas signifies tangible evidence of God’s presence, a gift to us, a life changing moment. Don’t miss it. That one defining moment has lasted centuries. It lives with you everyday; not just each …
Change is never easy, but the process of life is surrounded by changing seasons, new birth, moving cities, masks, lockdowns, and exciting paths into unknown territory.
