12.14.22 Why a Manger?

Perhaps it wasn’t just a coincidence that Jesus was born in a manger. It’s not like He didn’t know the Inn would be full. But, why a manger? Perhaps… it’s because a manger isn’t intimidating. It’s humble. So, so very humble. A manger, unlike a King’s palace or a King’s throne, is accessible to anyone.… Continue reading 12.14.22 Why a Manger?

01.01.21 I cannot find my bowl of oatmeal

I checked everywhere two or three times including many places it should not be hiding like the pantry or laundry room. If it got packed in a box of Christmas ornaments well that… Continue reading 01.01.21 I cannot find my bowl of oatmeal

He's really wonderful and such a comfort… Continue reading 12.12.20 Buddy, Grief, Brain, Christmas Tree, and more
