Advent 12 – Voice

In a political climate where those who hold power seem totally unconcerned with the voice of the "little guy," I take a little bit of comfort in knowing that institutions like NPR give an opportunity for our voices to be heard at some level. SaveSave SaveSave

Advent 9 – Prepare

What a perfect daily word for me on a Monday. The scout moto is "Be Prepared."  So, I obviously took a photo of our scouts preparing for our weekly meeting as the SPL (senior patrol leader) reads the weekly announcements.  In a minute, I will give instructions preparing them for this weekend's "camping" trip.  Scouting...

It only takes a spark To get a fire going And soon all those around Can warm up in its glowing That's how it is with God's love Once you've experienced it You spread His love to ev'ryone You want to pass it on SaveSave

Advent 2 – Presence

Yep... in case you're wondering that's the moon. Throughout human civilization, the moon has played an important part of our lives.  I suspect, however, that most people in the modern era don't give the moon much thought.  But I love the moon (even though I often take it for granted).  I love watching it go...
