Happy Monday…I pray that everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I will not bore anyone with our family details…trust me, they will never make a TLC original reality show based on our family! – but God was very good and we had a sweet time together as a family. As they…
Merry Christmas
Luke 2:1-14 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Casear Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city….
Some Christmas Thoughts
What can I give Him, poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb; If I were a wiseman, I would do my part; Yet what can I give Him? Give Him my heart. Rosetti If we look beyond the manger To the cross of…
What’s With December 21st??
Let me say..for the record… I am not superstitious in any way what so ever; however, I have been, shall we say, somewhat leery of December 21st. It was three years ago – December 21st – that my Tyler was diagnosed with his brain tumor and one year ago –…
Casserole Anyone??
My goal for this weekend is to finalize my brunch menu for Christmas morning. I have some tried and true favorites but was almost thinking I would like to be a little creative – or, at least, new – this year. So, I was pulling out the cookbooks in search…

What shall I give for Christmas To Him who gave Himself for me? To Him I give my life, my love, For time and for eternity. Anon
A Different Christmas Poem
I don’t know how these military thoughts keep making their way to me..but I recently received this in an email. Of course, it tugged at my heart. Hope you enjoy it, too. The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light, I gazed round the room and I cherished the…
Aunt Joanie
Thankful Thursday….this Thursday finds me on the road to visit my dad’s older sister, my Aunt Joan, who will be celebrating her 80th birthday on Saturday. Don’t let the number 80 fool you – no ma’am – she has more energy, more fashion sense and certainly more memory than I…
