  — Authority:
  Worship Fully:  This evening the family was planning on attending a special seasonal worship service at our faith community.  But the kids and I napped, and I just couldn’t pull it together, so Jason went on without us (he was playing with those leading musical worship).  At first I felt profound guilt:  “You ...

• Christmas Time is Here

  
  — Authority:
  I can’t believe it’s only 13 days until Christmas. I’ve turned on the snow on this site, apropos considering the temperatures we’ve been experiencing this week. I’ve also been working on my Christmas list . Honestly, I don’t feel there’s a lot I need right now. I’m enjoying not having “stuff” ...

• Just a Day

  
  — Authority:
  Worship Fully:  While reading a lift-the-flap nativity book, Judah asked me questions like, “Why was there no room?”  “Where were they going?”  And as I was summarizing the story for him, I wondered, “Was Mary miffed at Joseph that there was no room?”  Let me tell you, when I was in labor, if Jason ...

• Simple as a Drink of Water … Or Not

  Worship Fully:  got to engage in song with wonderful women as we mourned and rejoiced as the physical passing of a friend.  So happy she’s dancing with the saints, but selfishly sad for our missing of her body in our midst. Spend Less:  Today’s speaker at WBF shared her reflections on Luke 17 & 18.  So ...

  Probably the best part of the year? A time to celebrate family. A time to celebrate life. A time to celebrate Jesus Christ. Take time this Christmas to celebrate. To party. To laugh and have fun. Do we fill our plates with so much during the holidays that we forget? Do times that should be fun end up ...

• Tis the Season. . .

  
  — Authority:
  The past couple of years Jason and I have been pondering what we want our Christmas to look like as we grow as a family. Now that Jude is here, we want this time of celebration to be meaningful and to create traditions that are going to foster a sense of sacrifice and giving instead of consumerism and greed. We ...

• Make Christmas Different This Year

  
  — Authority:
  What is the meaning of Christmas? Is it presents under the tree, electronics in the cabinet, and a new luxury car in the driveway with an unrealistically huge red bow on top? Or is it family, community, eggnog, good food, and quality time spent together away from the stresses of an average day? (Okay so I threw ...

  Just discovered the Advent Conspiracy website, which sets a serious challenge to the consumerist excesses which can prevail at this time of year.

• ‘Tis The Season: To build others up

  
  — Authority:
  I think that can really get lost in Christmas. When gifts become obligations and we are more worried about how much we spent compared to what they spent, well we have lost sight of something. We can get so busy during the holidays that we forget the importance of building others up. I’m not sure how we became so ...

  I mentioned the giving cans in passing in this post, but I think they need more explanation because I am really pleased with how they turned out.
