Ok, so you may have heard this song a million times, or seen a meme or two… but I don't care! I love Adele and love is forever…    

An earworm for you.  Thought I'd share since it's been in my head most of the season… You're welcome.    

I've heard this song several times over the last couple of months.  Thought it time to share.  Love the video…    

Urbana 15 started tonight in St. Louis, MO. Over 16,000 people will convene in St. Louis for the next four days for this triennial missions conference ending with a New Year's Eve communion and celebration that puts ALL other celebrations to shame. I know because I was at Urbana 03.   It's hard to describeContinue reading “Urbana 15”

Today's devotional continues to expand on the verse from yesterday about why Christ came and what that means for us going forward.   We now have a clear purpose for living, summed up in "Trusting Jesus, loving people."

I remember the first time I saw it and fell in love with the story. This movie brought back all of that amazement. My grandson, who is eight, turned to me duringContinue reading “I Say Again, GLORIA!”

Today's devotional speaks of Jesus as the Ancient of Days. He existed before he was born.   Micah 5:2 puts it like this, 700 years before Jesus was born: But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is toContinue reading “Come, Oh Ancient of Days”

It's the final week before Christmas! Today is the fourth Sunday of Advent. The message at church this morning was from James 4:7, draw near to God and He will draw near to you. During this time of rampant commercialism and with the horrors that have taken place in the world lately, it's the perfectContinue reading “Gloria!”
