Christmas is a time that stirs memories, good and bad, happy and sad. We all have our favorite Christmas movies, songs, traditions, stories, memories, and deep feelings connected to this season.

Our pastor, my husband Bill, is taking us through a study of the book of John. It is blessing my socks off. We are in the middle of chapter 3.
