Advent Brings Joy

Joy.

Joy is all around us. We only have to open our eyes and observe.

Joy is FaceTiming with our new grandson, Theo, as he sleeps on Micah’s chest.

Joy is seeing the lights shine on our deck Christmas tree.

Joy is a group of friends bringing Covid safe Christmas carols to neighbors.

Joy is baking and wrapping gifts specially picked out for loved ones.

Joy is making donations to local food pantries to help with those with food insecurities.

Joy is watching church services via live-streaming and hearing the voice of a former pastor singing a beautiful selection from The Messiah.

Joy is the anticipation of the birth of the Christ Child and knowing that He came and changed the world.

May you experience the JOY today.

Joy to the World!

An Abundance of Katherines

by John Green

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
