The Magi

When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. – Matthew 2:10-11 First of all, MERRY CHRISTMAS!! I pray that allContinue reading “The Magi”

A Cheerful Heart

My family is a big one. I have 5 brothers, 3 sisters; I am an aunt to 14 and a great aunt to 9. Most of us normally get together during the holidays. However, this year is a bit different. We are all doing our own Christmas. This does not stop us from buying eachContinue reading “A Cheerful Heart”

Throughout the Dough

Christmas time is approaching quickly! Because of that, I decided to bake some cookies for my co-workers. Now, my all-time favorite holiday cookie is gingerbread. I do not mean the hard crunchy kinds that are used to make houses (though those are fun to make). I mean the soft delicious kinds that make you feelContinue reading “Throughout the Dough”

Whatever the Risks

The priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to Peter and John while they were speaking to the people. They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people, proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead. They seized Peter and John and because it was evening, theyContinue reading “Whatever the Risks”

God is Enough

The beginning of this past week, I was at work. While I was gathering up dirty dishes and cleaning tables and whatnot, one of our guests approached me. He told me, “Thank you for everything that you do, I want you to have this”, and indicated for me to hold out my hand. When IContinue reading “God is Enough”

Agonizing in the Garden

I am still reading in Luke with my family. We recently went over Luke 22. The part that stood out was when Jesus was at the Mount of Olives, before being taken into custody, and was agonizing in the garden. He (Jesus) withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them (his disciples), knelt down, and prayed,Continue reading “Agonizing in the Garden”

Legion

I recently read Chapter 8 of the Book of Luke, and something stood out to me. It was when I read the passage where Jesus restores a demon-possessed man and casts the demons out into a herd of pigs: Jesus asked him, “What is your name?””Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.Continue reading “Legion”

Walking Down a Path

I love nature. I love to go anywhere where I know I will see a lot of it, whether it’s by off-roading, walking, or hiking. I love taking pictures of the sights I see too. It does not matter if what I see is something as small as a dragonfly, or something as big asContinue reading “Walking Down a Path”

Childlike or Childish?

How childlike are you? Silly question, I know. But I was raised to stay as young as I can because once I am old, I am old a heck of a lot longer than I am young. So here I am in my mid-twenties, watching anime, collecting pop figurines, playing video games, listening to boybands,Continue reading “Childlike or Childish?”

Night and Day

Have you ever experienced total darkness before? Living in cities, which a lot of people do, nighttime does not seem so dark. I live up in the mountains and am away from all the city lights. But even then, I have tons of stars and the moon looking down on me. Not to mention theContinue reading “Night and Day”
