I love the food that Christmas brings. Lots of home cooking and lots of desserts! Did you know that the word stressed is desserts spelled backwards? That can’t just be a coincidence. It must be divine! You’re welcome. One of my favorite Christmas desserts is strawberry pie. I remember my aunt making a strawberry pie…

A call to those faithful to Jesus – because He is faithful – behold the King of angels! A call to adore the One most adored – Christ the Lord! A call to behold the one born in Bethlehem – Jesus, He will save us from our sins! Sing angels, Sing! Sing, citizens of heaven!…

What’s the best Christmas present you’ve ever received? When I was a kid, I received two G.I. Joe tanks and the Star Wars Millennium Falcon in the same year! What’s the worst Christmas present you’ve ever received? I once received a $100 savings bond and a boy cabbage patch doll…really! For one, boys don’t play…

When I was about 6 or 7 years old, I vividly remember riding home from my aunt’s house on Christmas Eve asking my parents to completely change my Christmas list. My parents wouldn’t budge. They said I had reached the point of no return, that “Santa” was already on his way and had his sleigh…

While not a Christ-centered song played at Christmas, “Winter Wonderland” is a favorite – and can point us to Jesus. It reminds me of childhood play in the snow with my family and friends. It reminds me when kids played outside, used their imaginations, and created fun. It reminds me while winter may seem gloomy…

David began Psalm 144 by giving praise to the Lord (v. 1). Instead of petition (asking God for things), shouldn’t we begin our prayers with praise (making Him the main thing)? David praised the Lord for giving him the ability to be a great warrior. David needed this skill when he fought off the lion…
