One by one, the women around me rose, their smiles lighting the sanctuary as the ushers handed each a pink carnation. I stayed glued to my seat, wishing the floor would open and swallow me.

Can you remember the best gift you’ve ever received? One of my most memorable gifts was the year I was 6 years old. There was a particular Barbie doll I really wanted. I asked Santa for it, I talked about it all the time, and waited in anticipation of Christmas morning when I would look […]
Joy to the world! The Lord is come.Let earth receive her King!Let every heart prepare Him room and heaven and nature sing.Joy to the world! the Savior reigns, let men their songs employ.While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains repeat the sounding joy.No more let sins and sorrows grow, nor thorns infest the ground.He […]
