I just love this song! All I've got for tonight. Here's the link to today's Advent devotional. It's about Herod and the Chief Priest and the Pharisees.  It's about hostility and indifference, two responses to the Gospel message. Then the writer ask if you are in one of these groups… Let this Christmas be theContinue reading “The Christmas Tree”

Today's devotional started with the verse in Matthew where the Magi inquired as to the whereabouts of the new King.  The star had drawn them.  They came to see where and to whom the star had led them.  They had come.  Matthew begins with that, but he doesn't end there. Luke shows God influencing theContinue reading “Come they told me”

Long day and trying to get to bed before midnight… Heard this song today and loved it. I found the song soothing. Need some soothing right now to go to sleep. Changes at work and trying to adjust, anticipate what's to come. Not bad things, just different. And, oh, how we are creatures of habit…Continue reading “He Has Come!”

I saw Riverdance today, part of their 20th Anniversary tour.  I loved the show when I first saw the PBS Special, and that love was undiminished today.  It was everything I could have imagined and more, the beauty of the music and the spectacle of the dance.  I was enthralled and giddy as a child watchingContinue reading “A Celt at Heart”

I had a small get-together this afternoon at my apartment for a few ladies to learn about essential oils. It was in the afternoon, but I prepared a few tidbits for noshing and everyone had a good time. It was the first time I've had anyone over since I moved here and I enjoyed preparing for them.Continue reading “No Room at the Inn”

Today's devotional was titled, "For God's Little People."  That's pretty much how I'm feeling lately, very little.  So much happening on the world's stage with all the saber-rattling, a multitude of voices clamoring to be heard.  I try to speak up, to be heard, but my small voice gives out after a while.  I withdrawContinue reading “Into the Silent Night”

Exhausted by the week already… Things going on at work and, of course, all that is on the news, has combined to beat me down.  But today's devotional tells me to "Look for the consolation of Israel" and to "Look for the redemption of Jerusalem."  I lift my head up to see what God is bringingContinue reading “Hey Moon”

Heard this song earlier and a phrase hit me like a ton of bricks, "Endless Hope Relentless Joy." Boy, do I need that right now after the day's news.  There was another mass shooting, 14 dead, 17 wounded, some critical.  I'm fighting the numbness created by all the news, everything reported with speculation and opinionsContinue reading “For King & Country – Baby Boy”

Heard this song tonight and want to share it.  Read this in my Advent devotional and want to share it as well. “He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God, and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathersContinue reading “Prepare Ye the Way”

To help us focus on Advent as it is meant to be celebrated, Desiring God has published a small devotional for the 25 days leading up to and including Christmas.  I'm looking forward to using it this season to help me find perspective.  I'm in need of that, lately. Love this song.  Talk about aContinue reading “It’s True”
