Christmas Season is Upon Us

I would like to remind everybody that we do have a section on the site that has many articles, devotions, and activities surrounding the Christmas season. There sure to be something for everyone. You can find this section under Holidays -> Christmas.

In addition to the section on our site, we have joined with www.IWillRejoice.net and collaborated on a mini eBook for Advent. We would love to be able to just give the eBook away for free, but we can only do that for five days.

A Journey Through Advent  - It is a brief eBook with four devotions for the four Sundays of Advent plus Christmas. There are a couple activities and resources within it also. The eBook will be FREE November 28 - December 2 on Amazon. Otherwise it will be $.99.

We do ask, if you get the eBook and you like it to please write a review. We know the eBook is short and we would love to extend it so we are looking for lots of feedback for next year! (Also if perhaps our audience would like mini eBooks for other holidays.)

We pray Thanksgiving was a blessed one and that the Christmas Spirit has overtaken you!

To Kill A Mocking Bird

As I was driving along this morning, seemingly fully aware of my surroundings-driving 2 blocks ahead as I have learned, out of nowhere I see this projectile coming at me faster than the speed of light. I had no time to react. There smacked against my windshield as I was driving 55mph on the highway was a mocking bird. Once I got over the initial shock, I started thinking.

What happened was a time capsule reference to a typical Christian walk. We think we are prayed up and have everything in order and then something unexpected and out of the blue happens. How do we react then?  That reaction is the one that is the revealing one. That reaction is the reaction that is the window to our soul, so to speak.

When the unexpected happens do we spin out of control and total our vehicle? Do we remain calm after a brief gasp and keep going know that God has everything in control? Do we pull off on the side of the road freaked out but safe checking everything out and then pray?

Your reaction is being watched by those around you. You are being watched by your spouse, your children, friends, neighbors, and strangers. To many... you are the only Bible they may ever read.
