The snow glowed green and red from the reflection of the lights donning the streets. Carolers entertained passersby with songs of chestnuts, sleigh bells, and a Savior. The sounds of bells were everywhere, a...

Each year just before Thanksgiving, the President ceremoniously pardons a turkey, a light-hearted moment in his otherwise grueling schedule. The tradition is traced to Abraham Lincoln, who wrote a pardon at the behest of his youngest son, Tad, in 1863. Though the origin is debated, many researchers believe that Lincoln was the first to bestow a Presidential pardon on a turkey, thus saving it from the dinner table. The reprieve, though, was actually issued at Christmas. In late 1863, the Lincolns received a turkey as a gift, and though the bird...

Thanksgiving is the unofficial beginning of the Holiday season and it has different meanings to each of us. For most it is being with family and friends, having too much delicious food, and watching some football. Let’s not forget the huge sale papers advertising the bargains to be had by the early shoppers on “Black Friday”. Most everyone is familiar with the story of the “first” Thanksgiving with the pilgrims and the Indians, but I wonder how many know about the Proclamation issued by George W...

Well, my friend, let me tell you a little story about a wonderful idea that was born thanks to Kelly Hinson. She and her family wanted to host a Thanksgiving dinner up to 100 plates at their venue, Camryn’s Place, offering food and fellowship for $10 per person - especially for those who might not have a place to go, need some company or just simply don’t wanna cook. But, thanks to the incredible generosity of so many in our town who, of their own accord donated money, all 100 Thanksgiving meals are now fully paid for! No one will need to pay...

Well it is a cold morning here in our little valley. It was 28 degrees here on the porch and we had a frost, but now the sun is shining and it is going to be a beautiful day.

We have had another busy week and today is going to be a busy...
I would love to revolutionize your Thanksgiving Day speeches, but I must admit that the blessings I feel gratitude for are embarrassingly mundane. I mean, I am thankful for weekends, babies, walks in the rain, comfy sofas, random acts of kindness, the fact that I pay so little attention at work, I am permanently exempted from having to sign a non-disclosure agreement… I am thankful that the descendants of Abraham have been blessed to be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the grains of s...
As the holiday season debuts, most of us focus on the festive rush—decorating, shopping, and celebrating. Resolutions tend to take a backseat until the clock strikes midnight on December 31st. But what if we didn’t wait? What if we embraced the spirit of change before the calendar flips, setting the stage for a fresh start with momentum already in motion? The idea of beginning resolutions before the new year isn’t about denying the joy of the holidays—it’s about finding balance and intention. December, with all its chaos and beauty, offers an...
