366 Day Project-Day 354-Light From The Mountain

Less than a week away from Christmas.  I’ll be spending it with my baby boys.  I’m so grateful for them.  They are such lights of joy for me, even though they wipe me out.  From the early morning wake up calls by Maseo (we’re talking 6:30AM, people!), to the chases around the house with UriahContinue reading “366 Day Project-Day 354-Light From The Mountain”

366 Day Project-Day 353-The Dawn Will Break Upon Us

Listened to this song this evening and found it… comforting.  It allowed me to slow down for a moment, to break down for a moment… in all the rush that has become this time of year.  Interestingly, we were rushing headlong into this Christmas and the end of the year, not thinking much about it,Continue reading “366 Day Project-Day 353-The Dawn Will Break Upon Us”

366 Day Project-Day 352-Hallelujah & Thou Who Wast Rich

I could also call this “Day 1.”  It’s the first day of funerals for the Sandy Hook children and staff who died last Friday.  Noah Pozner and Jack Pinto were laid to rest today, two beautiful six-year-old boys.  Funerals will follow one after another over the next few days as the Sandy Hook victims areContinue reading “366 Day Project-Day 352-Hallelujah & Thou Who Wast Rich”

366 Day Project-Day 351-My All In Thee

The names were released yesterday and faces are now being revealed today as we work our way through this dark time.  Details are also emerging, clarifying some of the confusion that arose at the beginning.  Teachers are being lauded as heroes, children are being remembered for their sweet, enchanting smiles and spirit.  As I lookContinue reading “366 Day Project-Day 351-My All In Thee”

366 Day Project-Day 350-Veiled In Darkness Judah Lay

I read the words to this Advent song and then listened to it.  Thought it quite appropriate for today.   Veiled in darkness Judah lay, Waiting for the promised day, While across the shadowy night Streamed a flood of glorious light, Heav’nly voices chanting then, “Peace on earth, good will to men.” “Peace on earth,Continue reading “366 Day Project-Day 350-Veiled In Darkness Judah Lay”

366 Day Project-Day 349-Love Came Down At Christmas (Subtitle: Because they are no more…)

This post is for my grandsons, Maseo & Uriah, because they’re safe at home in the arms of their mom and dad.  And this post is for the moms and dads who will never be able to hold their babies safe at home again. Thus says the LORD: “A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentationContinue reading “366 Day Project-Day 349-Love Came Down At Christmas (Subtitle: Because they are no more…)”
