    The Light of Christmas

    December 24, 2021 /

    The people who walk in darkness  Will see a great light; Those who live in a dark land,  The light will shine on them. Isaiah 9:2 Have you ever been somewhere so completely and utterly dark that you could not tell if your eyes were open or closed?  A few years ago, when my family toured Mammoth Cave, the tour guide turned off the lights, plunging us into an underground night. But when he turned on his cigarette lighter, the entire room was illuminated. He told us that if need be, he could lead our entire group out with the tiny flame.  When darkness is all around, even the tiniest…

    What Are You Anticipating?

    December 10, 2021 /

    Christmas is a season of anticipation. Some of you might be counting down the days until you get to bake cookies or exchange presents with your family. You might be looking forward to the ugly Christmas sweater contest at work or your Bible study’s white elephant gift party.  (You might also be like me and are way too excited for the upcoming Spider-Man movie.) But whether you are excited about Christmas or blockbusters, there is something greater we should be looking forward to. Something infinitely better than any present or get-together.  Jesus’ return.  One thing from the Christmas story that always strikes me is the reaction of the chief priests…

    Prepare Him Room

    December 12, 2020 /

    Joy to the world! The Lord has come Let Earth receive her King! Let every heart prepare Him room And heaven and nature sing And heaven and nature sing And heaven, and heaven and nature sing! Every year at Christmas, we are reminded to not let Jesus’ incarnation get lost in the shuffle. And so we try and maybe find a few moments to reflect on His advent before diving into the wrapping paper and cookies.  Of course, it’s important this time of year to prepare our hearts to focus on Christ, but we need to do this year-round.  Let’s face it. Life is busy.  We have deadlines to meet.…

    5 Christmas-Themed Character-Building Activities!

    December 20, 2019 /

    Merry early Christmas, friends! Are you ready to celebrate Jesus’ birth? I have finished almost all my Christmas presents and most of them are wrapped. I’ve also really been enjoying my daily advent devotional my church provided. Now that it’s Christmas break (hooray!), I’m hoping to write more for fun. I’m guessing some of you are too. Sometimes, it’s hard to regain momentum if you’ve been taking a break for a while (too busy with school, etc.). The best thing to get you writing again are some fun prompts you can do with any of your characters! Here are 5 Christmas-themed character-building activities! #1. What would your characters get you…

    Behold Our God Theology Review + Interview with Eliana From Eliana the Writer!

    December 13, 2019 /

    I know this technically is not a Christmas song, but sometimes we forget Who the baby in the manger really is. I recently read an article on Grace To You that addressed this topic. This song is one of my favorites (as well as one of my friend’s favorites, but more on that later). The first two verses speak of God as King and Ruler of all the earth. They tell of His great power and His omniscience (a big word that just means “all-knowing”). I am reminded of Isaiah 40:12-14, which reads, Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, And marked off the heavens by…
