Labor of Love
Dec 20, 2010The talented musicians at my church performed this beautiful song on Sunday, and it really resonated with me as I shopped and wrapped gifts in the day since then.

Read MoreFeeling Christmas-y
Dec 19, 2010I just feel festive today! I’m getting totally sucked in to all things “Christmas” now that the hi-lighted week of December is upon us (Can you believe it?).

Read MoreHoliday Traditions?
Dec 16, 2010Yesterday, I got so wrapped up in cookie instructions that I forgot to ask one very important question. What is YOUR favorite Christmas tradition? What says “NOW it’s Christmas!” to you?

Dec 13, 2010It’s that time of year!I’m a gift fanatic. Of course, it’s nice to receive them but I have much more fun giving them. Finding a creative, personal gift to present to a special person just does something for me. Which is why I am so excited about this little book. This is such a cute […]
Read MoreThe Bottom Line, a PSA
Dec 12, 2010Some time ago, Priscilla made me promise that I would share this story on the blog. As a public service. Because ladies, you don’t want this to happen to you…especially during the holidays. Be ye warned. Ahem. My daughter, Meghan, and I attended a wedding a few months ago. I made a last minute stop […]

Dec 09, 2010Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, Whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, That having been justified by His grace, we should become heirs according to the hope […]
