As we go through the Christmas season, we are enchanted by sparkling lights all around the places where we live. We put our favorite Nativity in a special place, lighting it softly, delighting in the gift God gave to us through His baby Son. We play our favorite Christmas songs, and along with those that […]

Open House and Open Heart

Christmas is not for curmudgeons! Charles Dickens famed character of Scrooge had to dredge up his cold and ghostly past before he could remember that he once was a pretty warm human being. We may have Scrooges in our midst, but we can’t let that stop us from opening our homes and our hearts to […]
