Christmas Fun - Some of My Favorites

Well, Christmas is almost here and I thought I would share a little of our seasonal celebration. We mostly had a good time with the pre-celebration stuff. Our youngest is starting to get a bit of her mother's sense of humor.

This is Charlotte when she discovered that the baby Jesus was not in the crèche scene.

"Where is baby Jesus?" she asked her mother.

"He won't be there until Christmas." She replied.

"Then why is everyone else here?" She fired back.

And that what it's been like...

The following shot is entitled: Too Loud

I am still working this week, but we have still managed to fit in a few fun things.

This is me and the little redhead.

We had a nice time on the buggy ride because there was not enough snow for a sleigh ride.

This is her and her mom!

This is LINK is mty favorite Christmas Song: Mary Did You Know.

And the following is my favorite Christmas Carol.

How about you, do you have some Christmas favorites?

She's way cute! I love the pics.

My fav Christmas song is 'Do you hear what I hear?' and my fav candy is the little chewy Brach's christmas tree nougats.

I still get goosebumps on Christmas eve and feel just a bit closer to God during Christmas...maybe because I tend to reflect more on the most precious gift ever known to man.

Merry Christmas Johndrow family with love from Tennessee.

Mad Libs: An Unforgettable Church Service

Hopefully you have heard of Mad Libs (R) ! They are stories that you blindly fill in the blanks for articles of grammar and then read the completed story. Since I was a kid, these have always been a hoot. I decided to make up my own. Just fill in the blanks next time you are at small group and then read it back. It is sure to shake up a few religious spirits. An Unforgettable Church Service We arrived at _________ ( time of day ) at the Church of the Holy _________ ( noun ).

Touchdown Jesus! - Vessels of Grace and Channels of Power

My blog title is grammatically correct. Jesus did not get a touchdown, that was the nickname a 62 foot tall, upper torso sculpture, of Jesus was given. The sculpture, off I-75 in southern Ohio, was struck by lightening and burned to the ground. HERE is the Yahoo News story. I an not going to segue into some prophetic sign of how the End Times are upon is. Much more interesting, and relevant, are the comments on the article by some 3,500+ readers. Here is one by Joshua - "God and Jesus was just made up in a book too. Same with Lucifer and every other angel. Anyone who says Zues is just made up cant prove it. Nor can anyone prove Jesus or God is too. Anyone can write a book and make up some higher being and some poor fools will buy into it." This is one of my favorites from What122: "I wonder if their insurance will cover it, or will the insurance company say it was an act of God?" One commenter characterizes Christianity by using the Bible against itself. Be...

God is Great, Beer is Good, and People are Crazy

There was a discussion on Facebook today about how some people think Christians are "whack jobs." Regardless, God is still great. I don't really know much about beer. I haven't had one in just about 30 years. There are a lot of folks that consider themselves to be Christian. Some because they do good, and others because they have faith in God or are born again-- and others because they grew up in a Christian denomination. Far be it from me to decide who is in, and who is out. Some say we'll be surprised at who is going to be there, and others say who think they are in will be surprised when they are rejected at the Pearly Gates. Hmmm... But let's say you are a real Christian who is feeling passionate about doing something for God. You know something beyond throwing a few bucks in the offering plate and trying to be a good person. The church calls it service or ministry, which could include such things as: reading scriptures on Sunday morning, planning a harves...
