If Christmas Is For Real
If Christmas is for real the whole world changes. Like a meteor hurling through the space of history a bombshell landed in Bethlehem 2,000 years ago – plus a few more years. Today, we are frantically racing to land on the moon again and planning trips to Mars. Then, a once in a universe lifetime…

Christmas Was Different Once Upon A Time
Christmas was very different at its beginning. 336 Years went by before it was officially celebrated during the Emperor Constantine’s reign. In the early church martyrdom and the way people died was more significant to remember than birth.

Remember When….
You’re gathered with friends and someone says, “Remember when…” and recalls an event or occasion years ago. If you have a great memory you may respond, “Of course I do, Billy and Marge were there in crazy costumes….” and off you gallop down Memory Lane. Others of us with powers of recall challenges shrug blankly,…
