Eel- is a traditional Christmas dish served in many cities of Italy. “Sea” eel is expensive and “river” eel is cheap. By choosing this dish all could celebrate. Gracious, yes, but it’s still eel!
How To Be A Christian Without Being A Jerk
Faith in real life
psalm 134:1
Those who gain the Father’s favor in his Kingdom now and into his glorious future are often not recognized as spiritual giants. Quietly working behind the scenes they bring tremendous power into the world.
D is for Darkness
Darkness- is where evil hides and darkness obscures the proper path. That is until “the light shines in the darkness” (John 1:5). Christmas lights couldn’t be more appropriate a custom.
C is for Christmas
Christmas- is not the owned by Christians; it is a cultural phenomenon around the world. I guess God gets people to think about him even if they aren’t trying to think about him.
psalm 133:1
It almost seems too easy to write this thought. Being the parents of twin 17 year old boys, we know when they get along it is an act of God!
B is for Bethlehem
Bethlehem- is the city where King David is from and is hardly memorable for any other reason. That is until the King of the Universe hails from here, as well. That changes things a bit.
psalm 132:9
When pastors and other leaders are models of God’s ways, marked by a joyous attitude, then it is interesting what blessings come to the church and surrounding communities.
A is for Advent: new thoughts for before Christmas
Advent- means “coming” and it is a time that Christians think deeply about the coming of Jesus into our world. This time before Christmas is a great year-end focus.
psalm 131:2
My soul holds everything that is “me” together. When the soul is healthy, it is a quiet blessing. Content with the world like a baby with his mother. Jesus knows what that is like. He was there.
