Happy New Year


2010 New Year Thoughts...
Last night, on New Year's Eve, our family sat down as we do every year and read the sheets we filled out, which contained questions like these:

  • Name something special that happened this year


  • How have you grown closer to the Lord this year?


  • Name something that Daddy did that blessed you this year


  • List at least 3 goals for 2010

We reflected on the year just past...the victories, the losses...what Scriptures did we memorize?...milestones and blessings...places we were blessed to travel during the year...significant household projects we accomplished...special friendships made during the year...

And then, we set family goals for the New Year:
We want to be faithful to God
We want to minister to others, memorize more Scripture, be good stewards of our time
And so, You will probably see me on here alot less.
I may do fewer posts, or shorter ones

I hope that this New Year is a blessing to you and your family as you serve Him!



Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
2 Corinthians 5:17

The Work of Christmas Begins



The Work of Christmas Begins


When the song of the angels is stilled,
when the star in the sky is gone,
when the kings and princes are home,
when the shepherds are back with the flocks,
then the work of Christmas begins:
to find the lost,
to heal those broken in spirit,
to feed the hungry,
to release the oppressed,
to rebuild the nations,
to bring peace among all peoples,
to make a little music with the heart…
And to radiate the Light of Christ,
every day, in every way, in all that we do and in all that we say.
Then the work of Christmas begins.

Celebrate the birth of the King--Jesus!




“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,
 which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you;
Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.”-
Luke 2:11-14

The words printed above contain all my hope!
The Words printed above ARE CHRISTMAS!
God came to earth and became flesh...



13Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John 1:13-15

Have a Merry Christmas celebrating Jesus!
