FAR AS THE CURSE IS FOUND
I love Christmas music. The only reason I don’t listen to it all year is I don’t want to risk it getting old. The last couple of years there has been one line from an old familiar carol that has really stuck in my head. It’s from “Joy to the World” verse three. If you […]
HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS
Christmas is approaching! I love this season…lights, music, movies, concerts, snow, cold, comfort, families gathered, traditions observed, and even the craziness of getting it all done. But my favorite moments are the quiet ones…the times when I look at a manger scene and am struck all over again with the vastness and scope of God’s […]

The late harvest has really put me back in getting ready for Christmas. I went to my ladies’ group Wednesday night. Last night we went to Tre’s and Tru’s school […]
Stuffed With Stuffing
Okay, now we’re full. The turkey was much larger than needed, but great for leftovers. Even the little boys ate pie…chocolate was a hit. They weren’t too sure about orange salad yet, maybe next year. Tre was very excited to get here and find there was a “real turkey” in the oven. He didn’t think […]
