Jesus became human. Think about that for a minute. Jesus, eternal creator and sustainer of all things. Eternally begotten, all power, all glory, all love from the Father, became a human. Now, I’m Reformed in soteriology. And I fully believe man is Totally Depraved. I believe that the fall was an actual event in history…
For Today… the final Monday of 2015 Outside my window…. it is grey and dreary. rainy, blah. I am thinking… about how much fun my kids and I have had playing games today. I almost won at air hockey, but N-boy came back to steal victory. I am thankful… that we don’t have anywhere to…
I love Christmas carols. I love esoteric, uncommon Christmas Carols. A year ago for WwW, I shared ‘Lo, How A Rose E’er Blooming.’ The third verse. I’m glad I checked, because it’s the one I almost shared again. Earlier in this Yuletide Season, I shared my favorite hymn which happens to be an Advent hymn:…

I am thankful… I finished shopping on Saturday, with three gifts to come from Amazon. I am wearing… pajamas. Kids are still abed. I…
In 2015, I chose *revel* as my word of the year. I chose the word on a whim, designed a graphic, and wrote the post. It’s been a fantastic year. I’ve learned a lot about reveling – from Candace, Karen, Jennifer, and Mystie who wrote fantastic guest posts on the topic. I learned a lot…
Our pastor is preaching through Philippians and is in Philippians 2 where Paul is asking that they “Make his joy complete.” As he preached on Joy, he quoted Lewis from Surprised by Joy (which I haven’t read.)

OK, a few words: 15 Years with my love!
