Unexpected

A neighborhood cat adopted our yard last week. We have a small garden fountain and he joined the squirrels and birds who drink from it on a regular basis throughout the season. He didn’t look too healthy, he was skinny and . . .reliant. I had my thoughts, which I did not share with the [...]

O Little Town of Bethlehem

During these Christmas days, our thoughts easily turn to consider the little town where mother Mary gave birth to our Savior. King David no longer sits on his throne and his hometown is nearly forgotten in the Judean landscape. Yet the promise of salvation was not forgotten.
