By Lynn Mosher – Last year, I read a post and the last sentence made me think, “And the empty pot awaits, ready for a fresh batch.” It reminded me of the story of Stone Soup. If you’ve never heard of it, here’s a synopsis of this version of the
By Gina Burgess – Okay, Okay… I know I’m late. I get depressed thinking about making New Year Resolutions. Do you? Do you look at your list six months down the road and think… ACK! I’ve failed! How often do we recognize what others need to change in their lives
By Heidi McLaughlin – It happened sixteen years ago. A young woman came to me and with tears in her eyes asked me if I would mentor her. I was startled. I didn’t know how to respond because I had never “officially” mentored anyone. Even though I said yes, I

Guest post by Sandi Elzinga – December, 2001. The last Christmas season my husband and I spent together. We were focused on the basics. Bill was fast becoming paralyzed and we had no clue what was wrong. We cried out to God and waited through the holidays for the doctor’s diagnosis. While Bill was still able to
By Gina Burgess – In your living room or somewhere in your house there may be a green tree standing tall and draped with beautiful, tinkling jewels of light and gaiety. Today there is an ongoing argument whether it should be called a Christmas tree or a Holiday tree. Most
By Amy Layne Litzelman – “For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He gave…” John 3:16 AMP I often find myself torn this time of year. I’m shocked that “the perfect imprint and very image of [God’s] nature” – the One who upholds and maintains and
Author Unknown – Shared by Pastor Justus Ghormley of Community Christian Church in Rancho Palo Verdes. Santa lives at the North Pole… Jesus is everywhere. Santa rides a sleigh… Jesus rides on the wind and walks on water. Santa comes once a year… Jesus is an ever present help. Santa
By Lynn Mosher – “Unto us a Son is given…and His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” (Isa. 9:6 NKJV) Many prophecies given. Many generations came and died. Until, the prophecies came to pass. When heaven’s Temple came down… “But when the
By Lynn Baber – God does not call us to celebrate Christmas. God calls us to love His Son. As mature trees gradually exchange their lush green mantles of summer for autumn masterpieces of red, purple, and gold the tenor of the world begins to change. The clamor over back-to-school
By Lori Kempton – I remember when I was a new Christian, my children were young. I bought them praise and worship tapes and they carried them around in their tape recorders blasting music throughout the house. One song keeps ringing in my head tonight. The words say, “Not by
By Marlon Ramos, Maricar Cinco Philippine Daily Inquirer 12:20 am | Monday, November 18th, 2013 TACLOBAN CITY—A woman stood in front of the altar at Santo Niño Parish Church here on Sunday, unmindful of the rain falling on her from the damaged ceiling of the century-old church that had its roof ripped off by Super
By Grace Fox – Rehearsals complete and props constructed, the night of the annual Christmas Sunday school program had finally arrived. “And in the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields, and keeping watch over their flock by night,” read the narrator. A cluster of wee
We are in the middle of a remodel. Dust is everywhere. Screeching saws cut everything from wallboard to wood to tile. My husband and I are crammed into our guest bedroom, and to get fresh clothes, we have to step over various machines, bags of mysterious powders, and try not
By Heidi McLaughlin – I heard strange muffled sounds coming from behind my parent’s bedroom room door. What was going on in there? As I put my ear closer to the door I realized it was the sound of my mother praying. During my rebellious teenage years, as I snuck
By Gina Burgess – Numerous times God has spoken to me or given me a delight for encouragement. Oh, not out loud, but in such a way I knew it was Him talking to me. I was on my teeth-grinding drive home from Arizona after my second husband decided he
By Barb Franzen – Lord, here sit at 6:45 a.m. a peaceful time of day for talking with you. It’s quiet outside the way I like it. There’s just a bit of snow in the street. My coffee cup is to my right. The office here is scattered with paper,
By Lynn Mosher – Something has been bugging me lately and I feel compelled (or maybe it’s led) to write about it. Are we thankful in our trials and circumstances or are we thankful for them? I always hear people say that the Bible tells us to be thankful in
By Heidi McLaughlin – I was the prodigal daughter. I did not actually eat with the pigs, like the story of the prodigal son in the bible, but I certainly feasted on my own selfishness. At the wise old age of seventeen I bravely confronted my parents and told them:
