Wordless Wednesday: Looking Forward to Spring
Hummingbirds arrive at our house around late April or early May. We've counted at least twenty or more at one time gathered around our three feeders. Each year the number has increased. The first year we had two, the next we had twelve and last year we counted 20+. But, who can get an accurate count? They are so very fast. Looking forward to their return.

It’s been a very busy week. Sometimes, when there is so much going on, we can get lost in the enormity of life’s distractions. We get lost in the busyness of life and begin to feel insignificant and unimportant. “You are not being careful. And you are missing it.” ~Moira Banning, from Hook the movie If you haven’t seen the movie Hook, I highly recommend it. The quote above is from Moira Banning, the wife of the grown up Peter Pan. She is trying to get her husband to stop the maddening busyness and enjoy their children. That line from the movie Hook has been floating around in my mind ever since. I don’t want to miss it. I don’t want one single day of my life to be without wonder and awe. Life’s busyness can rob...

Read MoreWordless Wednesday: Christ Eyes by Mike Lewis
Mike Lewis has been painting at Christian events since mid 1998. He paints large portraits of Christ in under twenty minutes. It began when his close friend, Christian songwriter Seth Haines, told him that he had written a song called "Intimate Portrait" and wanted Mike to paint a portrait of Christ on stage during the song. Although Mike was in art school, he had never really painted before. The request was actually rather unreasonable in terms of possibility. Seth wanted a portrait large enough for an entire audience to see and also a likeness to Christ painted in seven minutes. Mike did not have the available funds to do a practice painting so the first try was live on stage. After a short prayer with his friend Mark Herrera that whatever happened God would be glorified through the artwork he walked to the stage and began to paint. Mike says that immediately everything disappeared except the canvas. He has described it as his most peaceful personal time with Christ. He began to swirl colors from the entire spectrum into the face of Christ, then at the end of the painting when the face was recognizable he began to throw blood (red paint) right in Jesus' face.

Read MoreWordless Wednesday: A Black Lab Christmas
The gentle, intelligent and family-friendly Labrador Retriever from Canada continues to be the most popular breed in the United States. Labrador Retrievers, originally from Newfoundland, were initially used in work alongside fisherman, helping to pull in nets and catch fish that escaped from fishing lines. After being crossed with Setters, Spaniels and other Retrievers, the Labrador Retriever honed its skills as a true retriever. From this point in the breed’s history, "Labs," as they are affectionately called, were bred primarily to perform as an efficient retriever of game, with a stable temperament suitable for a variety of activities beyond hunting.

As we move closer and closer to Christmas, the Christmas story will be told, retold, and told again at parties, get togethers, and Church events. Many of the conversations will turn to the accuracy our conception of the Nativity Scene. There will be those that take the opportunity to tell others that the Nativity Scene we often see displayed is not quite accurate. Depending on the particular Nativity Scene they are discussing, these people may very well be correct. Healthy discussion of biblical truth is always enlightening because it sends us to the Scriptures to discover what is true. Here’s a unique video from Igniter Media that addresses this subject. It’s called ‘Retooning the Nativity‘ and identifies several misconceptions about...
