what do you want for Christmas?

what do you want for Christmas?

The other day, we had dinner with the men from Paul’s Bible study, and their wives. (And Savannah!) One of the wives said something interesting that I’ve been thinking about. She said when she was growing up, she and her siblings weren’t allowed to make Christmas “wish lists”. I thought that was interesting. My family always did wish lists, mostly because we lived in Peru and it was hard for our grandparents and other relatives to know what we would…

Thanksgiving in Orlando

Thanksgiving in Orlando

Wow, time has gotten away from me! We have been so busy these last few weeks. I finally got our Thanksgiving pictures uploaded today so I will share. We went down to Orlando for the week of Thanksgiving, which was delightfully wonderful!

They both were really nice, and it…

We were going to go to a Christmas tree farm, but we decided we didn’t really want to drive up to North Georgia or farther north, and we just got a tree from a local church. (We like supporting local churches, anyways.) This year we got…

why He got up

why He got up

My sister-in-law (sister-in-law!) sent this to me, and I thought it was great. I hope it encourages you during this Easter season! —————————- WHY HE GOT UP? “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” 1 Corinthians 15:55 Have you ever wondered why Jesus got up from the grave? Could you have been so important to Him that He would defy all that man had ever seen? Were you on His mind on that third day…
