I will share about Christian books I have read or listened to.
I will be sharing about my life before and after Christ. I will include stories about my pet and other pets I have encountered.
Do you have a tradition you do every year for Christmas or Hanukah?
I started one a few years ago. I have been reading a chapter a day in the book of Luke. I found the challenge to do this on Facebook. I normally start on the first day of December and continue to the 24th.
This year, I only realized that we were 4 days into December and I haven’t read one chapter! How did I forget we were in the month of December??!! Well, there is no shame if you have to catch up. Sometimes life gets in the way. What do I mean by that? Well, some of us have family and life may take a turn from the norm. We all experienced that in 2020 with COVID-19. So, don’t beat yourself up if you are not on pace to finish by Christmas Eve. Just do your best. And as you are reading Luke, ask the Lord to show you something new this year that you didn’t see the last time (for me last year) you were in the book of Luke.
Hope we can follow along together. I will try my best to post where I am in my readings daily.

Matthew 28:6 (NIV)
Jesus had been crucified publicly, brutally, and officially. He was wrapped, sealed in a tomb. There was no question. Jesus was dead. It was true.
But when His followers Mary and Mary Magdalene arrived to grieve? The stone was rolled away. The tomb was empty. And an angel met them with the most stunning announcement in human history.
But the angel doesn’t just tell the women the truth. He invites them to look for themselves. To step inside. To experience the...
