Merry Christmas, 2020
Merry Christmas! After what has been a tough year, my prayer is that this Christmas season will be relaxing and refreshing for us all. To help celebrate the season — I hope — I’ve embedded my church’s Christmas program, Christmas Under the Arches. My prayer is that it encourages you all and helps you focus on the Reason we celebrate. :)

Merry Christmas, 2018
I hope you all have a merry Christmas. More importantly, I hope you take the time to think about the birth of the child that gives Christmas its meaning.
"The birth of Christ is the timeless event that leads us to believe that the cries of a broken world have actually been heard. A Savior has been born. The vault of Heaven truly has been opened" -- Author Unknown

Merry Christmas, 2016
In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
"Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased."
-- Luke 2:8-14

Merry Christmas!
As 2009 winds down to a close, it is my hope that you and your family have a very merry Christmas. It is my prayer that in the hustle and bustle of the season, the real meaning — the birth of the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ — is not lost:
Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ[a] the Lord. — Luke 2:10-11

Happy Easter
There in the ground His body lay Light of the world by darkness slain Then, bursting forth in glorious day Up from the grave He rose again And as He stands in victory Sin’s curse has lost it’s grip on me For I am His and He us mine Bought with the precious blood of Christ No guilt in life, no fear in death This is power of Christ in me From life’s first cry to final breath Jesus commands my destiny No pow’r of hell, no scheme of man Can ever pluck me from His hand 'Til He returns or calls me home Here in the pow’r of Christ I’ll stand
