The tree is up, the lights are on, and the day of giving is just around the corner.  It’s the one day a year where it seems the world forgets the rush it is in.  It forgets the hate, it forgets the differences, and it joins to celebrate the birth of a Savior.

There will be a day

Filed Under Life | 1 Comment

I have been fighting what has turned out to be a rather nasty common cold.  While going through this seemingly minor annoyance and inconvenience, God really spoke to me about seeing the day when there will be no more pain, no more suffering, and no more tears.  It’s easy when we are feeling really good [...]
