 Inspired by Kenny Conley (as always), and his post “My 2010 Reading List,” I thought I would put together my own reading list for 2010. I love to read, but I tend to go through stages throughout the year. There are months where all I read is my Bible, and there are period where I read insatiably. I usually have many books going at the same time. I hope to accomplish two things by posting it here: It will help me to organize my thoughts and have a plan for what I intend to read; and Continue reading My 2010 Reading List
As we begin this new year, it is a great time to take stock of our lives. As a Christian, that means remembering what Jesus did for us. This wonderful song from Jeremy Camp and scenes from “The Passion of the Christ” helps to drive that point home. (WARNING: Some of the scenes from the movie included in this video are graphic and not meant for young children.) Share Tweet This Post
 Every year millions of people all around the world ring in the New Year with resolutions. We vow to start doing this or stop doing that, and everything seems right with the world for about a week – maybe two. Then, inevitably, something goes wrong with our resolutions and we revert back to our old habits and ways and give no more thought to our resolutions until next year roles around. So this year, rather than make more resolutions, I thought I would offer up a New Year’s prayer. Acknowledging that, in myself, I am not capable of keeping resolutions, Continue reading New Year's Resolutions

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Video History This song was written and performed by Go Fish and appears on their Christmas album called Snow which was released in 2006. We actually kicked off our Christmas Song Advent with a Go Fish song (Christmas With A Capital “C”) and it seems appropriate to end with this one which reminds us that Christmas may be about the birth of Christ, but in the end we must never lose sight of the cross! Commentary & Analysis This song isn’t as well known, but I couldn’t think of a better way to finish off this Christmas Carol Advent than with this Continue reading December 25 – It’s About the Cross (A Christmas Carol Advent)
1 MORE DAY UNTIL CHRISTMAS! Video History Silent Night was penned in German (Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht) by the Austrian Priest Father Joseph Mohr. The melody was composed by Franz Xaver Gruber, and the song was first performed in the Nikolaus-Kirche (Church of St. Nicholas) in Oberndorf, Austria on December 24, 1818. Commentary & Analysis This is one of my favorite Christmas Carols and one of my favorite songs of all time.

More likely, the phrase “silent night, Continue reading December 24 – Silent Night (A Christmas Carol Advent)
