Why Ornaments and Evergreens For Christmas?

I always wonder how things got started. How certain things began. Or why they are the way they are. I found the start of using evergreen trees, lights and ornaments very interesting. Makes me want to always incorporate red ornament bulbs on my tree.

How Do We Respond to the Impossible

How do we respond to the impossible. Do we resond like Abraham with laughter, doubt like Zechariah, or yes Lord like Mary.

Christmas Truth - Awe and Wonder Surrounding the Womb

This is part of the Angel Gabriel’s proclamation to Zechariah when he was in the temple. We know by reading later in the story that the Holy Spirit entered Elizabeth upon meeting Mary, Luke 1:41. The child leapt inside Elizabeth and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

Just think about that for a second.

In The Waiting - Christmas Playlist

The holidays tend to usher in a lot of angst, anticipation and even anxiety for some. It’s a wonderful time of year, but can come with a deep longing, so we’ve leaned into that theme as we created the next playlist for you all. It’s a beautiful Christmas playlist with songs you don’t often hear. It's a playlist of hope and anticipation as we wait. Wait for Christmas, wait for the time of Jesus’s birth, and wait for the day of the Lord’s return.

Thanksgiving Devotional

Thanksgiving might not be a biblical holiday but its reasons to celebrate are scattered throughout the Bible.

History of thanksgiving

Squanto was a Native American who became the pilgrims “trusted” friend by offering them help and wisdom to survive their first harsh winter in a new land. Please note that this is not a blog on history. The motives behind Squanto actions are not the point here. When the pilgrims celebrated their first successful harvest, they gave gratitude to God. During this feast Squanto was invited and he brought with 90 Native American friends who graciously served up plenty of wild turkey to prepare for the feast.

guided prayers

Pray this prayer before you begin. Yearn to study Him, getting to know Him verses what’s in it for us.
When life is a little dry and mundance, when we need a little inner motivation, when we just need something to pull us out of this rutt… prayer this prayer and rest in His goodness.

Some of the deepest moments of my faith journey has been picking up a good read and letting the charcters inspire me. Christian Fiction or better yet Biblical fiction has a way of opening up our mind into what life MAY have been like back then.
These are two main resources that I love to go to when trying to dive deeper into a passage or theme in the bible.
