     | 10,660 views

    Part one of a four part series on the four themes of Advent - hope, peace, joy, and love. Describes "hope" and how it is powerful and beneficial.

    I enjoy celebrating Advent first, and then celebrating Christmas.

As we age, we tend to lose ...read more

In fact the word “Republican” is almost always uttered with an expletive of one form or another. If a ...read more
