  • 4-H pledge provides platform for success

    As I sit and think about 2014 coming to an end, I first think of all the positives in my life.  The first being good health.  Good health is something that we rarely appreciate, but the moment we get sick, we would give anything to regain good health.

  • Find time this post-holiday season to be present with God and with one another

    I don’t know how it works at your house, but usually at ours by the day after Christmas we have had our fill of Christmas songs, decorations and wrapping paper. We get ‘wore out’ on Christmas. I think it’s due to sensory overload.

  • Proper storage of holiday decorations prevents a ‘Griswold’

    National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation is one of my all-time favorite movies to watch during the holiday season.

    Every scene is quote-worthy and brings about big laughs.

    One scene in particular stands out to me:

    Clark Griswold has dragged his son, Russ, outside with him to start the big task of putting lights on the house.  Russ, who is not excited about helping out with this task at all, complains that his dad overdoes things.

  • It is because of Christ that we have Christmas

    Read this parody of the Christmas season that I recently read:

    “And there were in the same country children keeping watch over their stockings by the fireplace. And lo! And was said unto them Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy that is for all people who can afford them.”

  • The word of God demonstrates his omnipotent power, authority

    We talk about the birth of the little baby Jesus. We talk about him being born eight miles outside Jerusalem, in the town of Bethlehem. 

    We talk about him lying in a manger, no crib for a bed. But when we fail to talk about his deity, when we fail to acknowledge that he is God, not only, do we miss the true meaning of Christmas, we also miss the very foundation of Christianity.
