Good As New… Or Even Better
I was decorating my office for Christmas and pulled out one of my favorite Christmas pieces. It is a figurine of a horse-drawn sleigh filled with packages and a tree. I always imagine this little sleigh being guided by a sweet couple heading to their cabin to...
Where’s Bronco?
Elf on the Shelf is such a popular tradition with children these days. The tradition as we know it now wasn't around when my girls were little (or if it was I didn't know about it). I have wanted to do it for a few years but obviously I don't have little kids...
I’m Hooked. You Hooked?
The Shepherd's hook. Such a simple piece of the traditional nativity scene. Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, wisemen, shepherds, sheep, camel, cow and manger. Wisemen carry treasures of gold, frankincense and myrrh. And shepherds have their trusty hook at their side. It's...

Today it is a special day to remember all of our blessings and what we are thankful for. It is easy to focus on that thankfulness since this is the day set aside to do that. And I am so glad that we have a day devoted to just that. But what happens after today? Do...
Looking for Tiny Treasure
Today's Jesus Calling devotion by Sarah Young was so good I just have to share it. Sarah's writings are delivered as if Jesus is speaking directly to the reader: "As you go through this day, look for tiny treasures strategically placed along the way. I lovingly go...
This is the Day!
I woke up this morning singing "This is the day. This is the day that the Lord has made. That the Lord has made. We will rejoice. We will rejoice and be glad in it. And be glad in it." Now that you have that chorus in your mind, I will proceed.... It actually...
