Christmas time came a little later this year due to the timing of the Thanksgiving Holiday – and it is still such a wonderful time! It is amazing how everyone (including our family!) is rushing around trying to make sure we get all the gifts, attend all the tree lightning ceremonies, and…

I ran across this quote last week and felt like it was appropriate to repeat it again here.    “The Bible will keep you away from sin or sin will keep you away from bible.” (an old saying paraphrased here that John Bunyan had written inside of his Bible).  …

 This year we were fortunate to be able to spend Thanksgiving with some of our extended family  (cousins, Aunts, etc.).  This hasn’t always been the case and made it even more of a special time since we don’t get to see them that often. At work on Monday this holiday gives…
