This Christmas I definitely missed my family and my mom’s cooking. I don’t have a video of my mom cooking. So, for a reminder of my dad, I watched this video of him teaching everyone how he cooks his special breakfast.
The countdown is on! It is the week before Christmas, and of course I haven’t finished my Christmas shopping. To be honest, I am a little over whelmed by the thought of everything I have to do this week.
Well, yes, if you looked at the score and saw how bad the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars, that could simply define how bad it was.
So, today I have a Christmas challenge for you.
Can you take a wild guess what my nephew, Quinn, is wanting for Christmas? I guess he couldn’t find a good deal on a nice pair of teeth on Black Friday.
This week I have been in Charlotte, NC for work. But the best part of traveling to North Carolina once a month is I get to see my family. Last night my brother’s children packed their shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. This week is National Collection Week for Operation Christmas Child, and my niece and nephew were very eager to pack their boxes.
Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, and it is the largest children’s Christmas program of its kind. Each box is hand delivered to children around the world providing toys for Christmas, but most importantly, the gospel of Jesus Christ. Each box is provided with a pamphlet with the Gospel in their own language. It is an exciting project that life changing for children around the world. If you have never been apart, it is simple and a great project for all ages and families. For more information check out Operation Christmas Child.

1. Take an empty shoebox
2. Fill it with toys/toiletries
3. Drop it off at one of the drop-off locations
4. Pray for your box

“Thousands of Christians compromise their faith in Jesus Christ by denying Him. Even some clergymen neglect or deliberately refuse to close a public prayer in the name of Jesus for fear of offending an unbeliever. They cannot endure the persecution that may follow an acknowledgment of Jesus Christ.” Billy Graham
My dad and his team just finished a Crusade in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. Out of the country’s entire population of 3,000,000 people, on a typical Sunday morning only approximately 3,000 attend an evangelical church.
October I seemed to neglect the blog a little bit. Well, not a little bit, a lot! But November is a new month and I am back at it. —————————— In my grandfather’s most recent interview with Greta Van Susteren, she asked him to reflect on his lifetime and wondered what he would change, if …
This is what is on my heart today…
