Preparing our Hearts

Have you ever thought about the sacrifice of Christmas? I mean, the sacrifice of Easter is something that we think and talk about every year. Christ died on the cross for our sins. We, in essence, sent him to that death on the cross. But what about Christmas? Have you ever thought of the huge […]

Thankful….Eternally Thankful

This year I have so much to be thankful for. Don’t all of us? The list of our blessings would be forever long. We could include everything from our food and clothing, to family and friends. Don’t forget our health and the air that we breathe. Our homes and cars, our church family and our […]
