     | 6,917 views

    We are all forced to take journeys in our lives...journeys of inconvenience and discomfort. Sometimes these journeys take us to the place God wants us to be and we never know what or who we may find at the end of each journey.

Carols that are all about trees, snow, reindeer, not about a baby born in a manger. Why do we do this? For some the story of ...read more
