    Angels always approach humans with "Don’t be afraid." Easier said than done. We are very afraid.

    As a kid fear was a great experience. Especially if it involved SOMEBODY ELSE being afraid. Christmas and Easter are great holidays, but when I was a kid, Halloween was the most fun. Dressing up like some ghost or monster and jumping out of the bushes to yell, “boo!” And to see your best friend ...read more

    Advent 3 Mary

    So how was your day? Luke 1:46-55 Some days I pick up Jason and Keylee at school. Once they are in the car, I usually ask. How was your day? I get grunts and groans. Some time a word like boring and occasionally ok. I don’t recall more than a couple of occasions when there was any excitement ...read more

    2005 Christmas Sermon

    I begin this morning with two views of Christmas. View number one: My husband and I had been happily (most of the time) married for five years, but hadn’t been blessed with a baby. I decided to do some serious praying and promised God that if He would give us a child, I would be a perfect mother, ...read more

    Christmas Sermon on the Magi: God reveals Himself to all kinds of people – and the least likely are often the most open.

    Intro I haven’t seen them for a long time, but about this time of year when I was a kid, we would see ads on TV that informed immigrants that they had to fill out certain forms to register with the government. Which wouldn’t have been that memorable, except that they didn’t call them immigrants. ...read more

    Five or six miles southwest of Jerusalem lay the tiny town of Bethlehem in the Judean hills. It was here that man’s eyes first saw God in the flesh.
