Christmas?
It’s hard to believe it’s over. It really didn’t feel like it began. Except for the Christmas caroling Christmas Eve and the shrimp I deveined, it didn’t feel like Christmas this year. We spent Christmas alone as usually and had our fun candle light family dinner playing the Minister’s cat afterward. Then we brought gifts…
A Gift From Above
(c) Gina Conroy October 25, 1990 I wrote this Christmas song over 15 years ago. Though you won’t be able to hear the tune over the internet, may the words reach down deep into your soul! A Gift From Above Little eyes full of compassion Little hands that would grow strong Little heart full of…
Writing Letters to Jesus
Years ago I started something with my children that has now turned into a Christmas tradition. We write letters to Jesus. I started writing these letters out of a desire to give a gift to Jesus on Christmas. After all, it is HIS birthday. When my kids were too little to write, I wrote for…
The Golden Compass: To See or Not to See?
There has been a lot of controversy over The Golden Compass written by Philip Pullman, a self proclaimed and proud atheist, who’s mission with his books has been to lead children away from God.

Remembering St. Nick
In my efforts to steer materialism away from December the 25th, and create new family traditions, I thought a great idea would be to give gifts on St. Nicholas Day. Only problem is, it always sneaks up on us and we miss it. I’m planning on a remembrance of St. Nicholas and his “spirit of…
Opposite World

Do You Believe?
During the month of December I’m going to be reflecting on Christmas past, our past! January 8, 2005 Timmy, Grace and I were home alone tonight while the big boys went to see the Harlem Globtrotters. So Timmy wouldn’t feel left out, I told him we could watch a movie after I put Grace to…
I’m Getting Back to the Heart of Writing
The worship song “I’m getting back to the heart of Worship” keeps playing through my mind, but with different words. “I’m getting back to the heart of writing and it’s all about You all about You Jesus. I’m sorry for the thing I’ve made it. “Cause it’s all about you. All about you, Jesus.” I…
Who is Jesus?
Reposted from December 2006 If you spend any amount of time browsing or reading this blog you know this question is not referring to my fundamental belief that Jesus is the Son of God. So who is Jesus, to you? Is He still a tiny baby in a manger who you think about once or…
