Day 23 of Advent 2024: Vulnerable Love
There’s a moment in Scrooged, that 1988 retelling of A Christmas Carol, when Frank Cross—the cold, selfish television executive—comes face to face with the consequences of his choices. The visions are brutal. The Ghosts of Christmas tug at ...
Day 22 of Advent 2024: Waking Up
How do you wake up? Are you one of those people who pop out of bed as soon as your eyes open?
Or - are you a "snoozer?" You hit the snooze button OVER AND OVER until it is the inevitable.
And when do you wake up on Christmas?
As a ...
Day 21 of Advent 2024: Ghosts
Are you ever haunted by ghosts of the past?
Not everyone battles those ghosts. But for many of us, they’re there—hiding in the shadows, ready to pounce at just the right trigger.
The beautiful thing about the Christmas story? It, too, was ...
Day 20 of Advent: The Power of Accountability
The journey to Bethlehem was more than a physical trek for Mary and Joseph—it was a journey of trust, courage, and accountability. Culturally, their story was a scandal. A young, unwed woman, pregnant under extraordinary circumstances, and her ...
Day 19 of Advent 2024: Magnification of the Darkness
Faith and fear have more in common than we often admit. Both require belief in something unseen—a future not yet realized, an outcome not yet determined. The difference lies in the direction they pull us. Fear whispers, “What if everything ...
Day 18 of Advent 2024: Showing Up
When was the last time you stepped up to face something in your life, even though you weren’t sure you had it in you to do so?
“Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.” — Brené Brown
It’s a quiet, snow-dusted night ...
Day 17 of Advent 2024: Marks that Matter
A German Shepherd’s Mark Can Be Substantial
Serendipitously, after our 5-year-old German Shepherd, Axel, succumbed to cancer at Halloween, a beautiful rescue German Shepherd appeared on my social media feed. He was "in desperate need of a ...
Day 16 of Advent 2024: Forgotten But Not Abandoned
After the death of my mom, my dad remarried, and we moved to the booming metropolis of Sawmills. We began attending the local church and I made fast friends. Important for a 9-year-old whose life had just been turned upside down. However, a few ...
Day 15 of Advent 2024: Overlooked
When Andrew and Layne were young, we’d count down the days before big events by counting “darks.” It was our quirky little system, and let’s be honest, it worked better than the impatient “Are we there yet?” countdowns.
We are officially ...
Day 13 of Advent 2024: Cynicism to Joy
When Buddy the Elf arrived in New York City, his childlike joy and relentless optimism ran headfirst into the city’s cynicism. From the grumbling pedestrians to Walter, his distant and dismissive father, Buddy encountered a world that didn’t ...
Day 12 of Advent: Trusting What We Cannot See
Faith is a curious thing. It asks us to trust in something beyond what our eyes can see, beyond what our minds can fully grasp. It calls us to believe in a story still unfolding, in a purpose we can’t always trace, and in a God who is present, ...
Day 11 of Advent 2024: Kindness that Actually Matters
I was recently talking to a friend who explained that every single night on her calendar from now until the end of the year was booked. Every. Single. Night.
That. Is. Busy.
Honestly, when I was her age, my calendar looked exactly the ...
