As unreal as it seems we have once again come to that time of year when we need to sit back, watch, wait, celebrate, and allow the good news of Christmas and the coming King to wash over us, renew us; in some cases to breathe life back into us. It has been a hardContinue reading “Be advent.”

A single light
It is Christmas eve. I love this particular holiday. This year we gifted the whole family with a new puppy named Max. He’s a joy to have in the house but he is a puppy and he can be rambunctious; lots of walks are needed to keep him at a good level of sane whileContinue reading “A single light”
