this is the way
God came earth
to find you
to find me
to be found by you and me
this is the way
God came
to save us

On Earth Peace, Goodwill Toward Men!
What kind of Peace is this?
Wrapped in Cloths
Lying in a Manger?
This is Peace from Heaven
God’s will
for all men
on whom His favor rests

Born for you and me.
I want to share with you a simple little story about how the Spirit inspired me yesterday during the Christmas Day Service. Near the end of the service we were instructed to turn to page 366…..
Something I just can’t understand is the stress people cause and experience over this argument about what to say this time of year.
Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays
I just feel a need to share my humble opinion about this issue of what greeting is acceptable this time of year.
I listened to a woman…..
How many people feel like there is so much to do and so little time? After yesterday’s late night blog I decided to start cleaning my house and rearranging furniture to make room for the tree and nativity. I had accumulated quite a bit of clutter over the past month or so as I’ve been busy…..

“Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:23
