Our Christmas series continues from last week! Read Part One here. Part Two: Joseph, Son of David Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, and a branch from his roots will bear fruit… ~ Isaiah 11:1 She is gone . . . thank God, she is gone. I grip the doorframe as […]
A blessed Advent to you, friends. In this season, I hope to post a more “regular” post on Tuesdays and a special Christmas post on Fridays. But first, a little introduction. 🙂 Our God is a God of the unexpected. Certainly in the way He came into this world, as we celebrate this Christmas season, […]
Ruined castle amid the green – from my own trip to Scotland The story of Jacob, Rachel, and Leah set in 18thcentury Scotland? Now there’s a novel thought…pun quite possibly intended. 🙂 Liz Curtis Higgs’s Lowlands of Scotland series has rather captured my mind and heart these past several weeks. I’d shied away from Thorn […]

Those lyrics from Kiss Me, Kate—though I’ve actually never seen that musical—usually start going through my head about this time. Tonight marks the opening of our theater company’s summer musical—yay! And yikes!
