Sunlight

Last week, it hit -12° at my house. That was unpleasant. But God is full of surprises, because over the weekend it rose about 70° higher! The crazy weather inspired me to write about sunlight. It was gray and cold for so long, and then for a few days it was bright and sunny and…

The Cares of a Child

The other night, I started thinking about how my life was when I was a little kid. Here’s an example of a typical summer day I may have had: wake up without an alarm. Watch TV. Eat breakfast that my mom made. Go play outside with my brother and our neighbors. We did tricks on…

Stories of the Bible | The Birth of Jesus

Merry Christmas, everyone! As I was reading over the Luke 2 passage, I was reminded of when my older brother and I were little, and as part of school, my mom had us memorize Luke 2:1-20. Eventually, we were able to recite every word simultaneously! So, I am very familiar with the passage. Anyway, I…
