The Person in the Title

I grew up in a Christ centered home. I was blessed. However, I love the sentiment of this blog post. I too wish to “show the people the Person in the title.”

WinterI love Christmas. And with all my heart I love the One whose birth it celebrates. But it wasn’t always so. I grew up in a nonbelieving home. Yes, we said “Merry Christmas!” but for us it was a secular occasion, a time for family, food, and gift-giving, but not for the Person in the title. Hence, to me, there’s nothing life-changing about the words “Merry Christmas!” But there is something life-changing about Christ. So, whatever words I use or hear, it’s my joy at Christmas time–and throughout the year–to show people the Person in the title. You?

“In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”

~John 1:4-5

Christmas is Coming

Meanwhile, John went to Springville to visit family for the week.  He went to visit and to help his siblings with some family things.  He helped his… Continue reading Christmas is Coming

Warrior Wednesday

A Warrior Trusts God

Today for Warrior Wednesday I decided to go with a bunch of memes. I find this is to be a truth for most of us.  We want to see before we make a move in new directions.  Faith is stepping, then seeing. A Warrior trusts God. This is the real truth.  When we are brave,… Continue reading A Warrior Trusts God

#bethelight – Day 51

I have been working at finding ways to spread the light of Christ that fills my heart.  I gave a few dollars to the bell ringers outside a couple of stores.  I gave a few dollars to a girl on a corner looking for gas money.  I am trying to make a difference, even if… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 51
