Celebrating Christ Through the YearVeteran’s Day
I’m starting a new series today called Celebrating Christ Through the Year. I wrote this article years ago, yet never really implemented it in my own family. I hope to do so this time around. I’m starting before the New Year so we can share some of the wonderful ideas for the holidays! Celebrating Jesus…
How Many Days Until Christmas?
It’s started already! The Christmas Wreaths on lamp posts. The seasonal merchandise in stores and those darn Saturday morning cartoons toy commercials which turn even the most angelic kids into screaming Gimme Monsters. A commercial break doesn’t go by without Grace yelling from the playroom, “Mommy I want Trinity doll” or “Mommy, I want that…
Operation Christmas Child
Last year we missed this and we usually do it every year. This year we have our boxes almost stuffed full, and all we need to do is make the cards and get them to the drop off center 1/2 a mile away. The collection deadline is from November 13-20th so I think we’ll make…

I Remember: My September 11th Story
I was in my bedroom, half awake, not even dressed for the day. My baby was asleep in his crib so I flipped on the TV and there it was. The buildings on fire, the news commentators playing over and over again the planes flying into the towers. I sat in shock, not fully comprehending…
Let Freedom Ring part 2
America: Return to God We’ve been studying the American Revolution and the celebration on Sunday was a great way to wrap up our unit. The church dramatized the founding father’s and their discussion of freedom. It was fun to see Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams come to life before our eyes. We had…
Let Freedom Ring part 1
On Sunday we attended an amazing service at a local mega church. They had advertised an “America: Return to God” patriotic service and since we’re between churches, we thought we’d go. The service was not lacking in patriotism or the spirit of God. The choir dressed in red, white and blue, belted out patriotic songs…
