Since Jacob has been able to read, we’ve let him read Luke 2 before we sing Happy Birthday to Jesus each year and eat a birthday cookie. It’s a lot of fun. Now, on to gifts. Happy Christmas, everyone. Hope it’s blessed! Posted from WordPress for Android

What a Gift!
Amazing video of the Kimyal people receiving the Bible into their own language for the first time. This is a good reminder to me on this Christmas Eve of the blessing of Christ coming and the very Scripture that reveals Him that I so quickly take for granted. God, forgive me. To have that kind…
On Learning Patience
Long lines drive me nuts. Cars that won’t move out of my way in the fast lane make me insane. Little boys that don’t do what I say the first time push my buttons. Patience…what a terrible word. Why is that something that comes so hard for so many people? You know the one thing…
First Baptist Church of…the Republic?
Over at the White Horse Inn, there is a good article on the Church and politics called, No Nation Under God, that I’ve included in my Google Shared Items Page and I encourage you to read it in its entirety. In this article, Pastor Jason Stellman discusses the way in which the political process has…

Christmas (with the possible exception of Easter and that rabbit) is probably the most difficult holiday for Christians. Seriously. We have to figure out how to deal with the fun stuff of Christmas–you know, gift-giving, flying reindeer and jolly elves in red suits with the real (and true) reason we celebrate–the God-man coming to earth…
Goats are Cool.
With one week left of our “Give a Goat” drive, The Gathering has currently raised enough money to purchase 54 goats and also 61 nets through Samaritan’s Purse! That is exceedingly cool. Thank you so much to the people of The Gathering for getting behind what had to have sounded like a crazy idea…
A Christmas Revolution
Tired of Christmas as usual? Had it up to here with the long lines, long bank statements and long recovery time? If so, I want to invite you to join the revolution to take back Christmas. No, not that kind of revolution. I’m not advocating boycotts or signing petitions, nor am I encouraging you to…
A Review of The Generous Soul
If you’re looking for a great gift for a loved one this Christmas, I highly recommend Marty Duren’s new book, The Generous Soul.
