I’m Back

Wow, I for­got how great it feels to write blog posts. If you were to ask me what I did between my last post at Christ­mas and now, “every­thing” would not be far from the truth. Before I say any­thing else … Happy New Year! (It just occurred to me that this is my first

Happy Birthday Jesus!

Today is a very spe­cial day for a very spe­cial person—a per­son who was both fully human like us and fully divine like the One who sent Him. His name is Emmanuel, Jesus, God is with us. Every year we exchange gifts with each other to com­mem­o­rate the birth of our Sav­ior, but how many

It’s Almost Christmas!

Recall that at this time over 2030 years ago a sim­ple car­pen­ter and his preg­nant wife are near­ing the end of their jour­ney from Nazareth to Beth­le­hem, a dis­tance of about 80 miles, for the cen­sus as man­dated by Herod. Soon they will begin to look for a place to stay. The only place they will be

The Perfect Conservative

My dad lis­tens to Niel Boortz on the radio, where he heard about a very inspir­ing post from Her­man Cain about the Per­fect Con­ser­v­a­tive. It sheds light on pol­i­tics and shares a won­der­ful Christ­mas mes­sage: He was not born into a royal fam­ily, but He left a royal impres­sion on the world. For 30 years, He learned

Calvin and the Snowmen

I received this in an email a long time ago, and I thought it was blog-​​​​worthy. Also remem­ber this last week of Advent to Keep Christ in Christ­mas. Enjoy!

Merry Christmas!

Today we cel­e­brate the giv­ing and receiv­ing of gifts to remind us that God has given us the great­est gift of all: a Sav­ior who can bridge the gap between God and Man and bring us to share in Eter­nal Life.  Amidst the cel­e­bra­tion and noise, we should take a moment to thank God for

Happy Fourth of July!

I would like to wish every­one a happy Fourth of July.  I know it’s a day late, but I was hav­ing too much fun yes­ter­day to remem­ber to share my greet­ings online.  Per­haps I’ll get bet­ter about post­ing to this blog soon… Blogged with the Flock Browser

Happy New Year!

I’ll bet you’re won­der­ing why the Christ­mas theme is still up… Christ­mas actu­ally starts on Christ­mas Day (Decem­ber 25th) and ends on Epiphany (Jan­u­ary 6th), twelve days later; hence, The Twelve Days of Christ­mas song. Epiphany is the cel­e­brated day when the wise men brought their gifts to Jesus, the new­born king. If you are

Keep Christ In Christmas

The time between Thanks­giv­ing and New Year’s Day seem to get cra­zier every year. As a mat­ter of fact, I heard that a store man­ager of a Wal-​​​​Mart in New York was tram­pled to death on Black Fri­day (the Fri­day after Thanks­giv­ing). Such actions are UNACCEPTABLE in our soci­ety: they pub­li­cise Amer­i­cans as being rowdy,

Happy Thanksgiving

I would like to take a moment to wish all of you a Happy Thanks­giv­ing. Take a minute or two to think about all of the bless­ings that God has given to you. Here are some to start you off: Life Food + Water Shel­ter Friends
