Here we are again, on the eve of another new year. And with it, the second round of celebrations before the year is over. Before I knew the origin of New Year’s Day, it was one of my favorite holidays, and celebrated it with gusto. For one, it is a fresh start; a new page….
After the Christmas and New Year displays are taken down in stores, up go the balloons, flowers, hearts, stuffed animals, cards, and candy. Most people are aware of the commercialism attached to Valentine’s Day but who can pass gifting those cute sentimental items? After all, it’s the thought that counts; not so much the gift….
What is humility and how does it affect our relationship with God? Humility is mentioned all throughout Scripture. And no wonder, God is well-pleased with the humble. However, many have misconceptions about what humility entails. Contrary to what many believe, being humble does not mean weakness, but rather strength. Because by nature, humans are not…
We are followers of The Way– that is- We BELIEVE that: YAH created the Heavens, the earth, man in His image, and all that exists in 6 days. Mankind was doomed the moment they befell by way of temptation in the Garden of Eden. Since then, all men have sinned. The only way to save…
As some of you may know, I’m a HUGE bookworm. There is nothing better than to sit down, drink a cup of coffee (or tea) and read a good book. Many of you may also know that I’m a book reviewer for some publishing companies which gives me the best opportunity to get my hands on…
When June comes rolling in, our minds instantly think, “summer, vacation, and Father’s Day.” What if I told you that Father’s Day and summer have much more in common than we think? And what if I told you that Father’s Day is not an innocent holiday? Would you want to find out why or would…
Are You Celebrating Your Mother this Mother’s Day? You may want to read this post. It’s Mother’s Day today in Mexico, it will be next Sunday here in the US, and all around the world, people are similarly celebrating their mothers. We all love our mothers (well, most do) and feel it necessary to set…
If I’m honest, Easter was the one holiday that took me more time to accept as pagan. How could I NOT celebrate the resurrection of my Savior? But once I learned the history (which I will share with you in this post) I realized that I couldn’t be more obedient to Abba than by forgoing…
I remember when in elementary school, the kids would wear green on St. Patrick’s Day to avoid getting pinched. The teacher would give us a coloring page with shamrocks, leprechauns, pots of gold, and rainbows. Lucky Charms is a popular cereal, especially amongst children. And “Luck” and “wish” are common words in our everyday vernacular….
It is that time of the year again; people rushing to get all their presents bought and wrapped, decorating the house with a splash of festive red, green, and gold. Kids write long lists for Santa while parents recite a well-rehearsed story “on this day, Jesus Christ our Savior was born.” Church choirs practice Christmas hymns and…
Since tomorrow is Halloween I decided to do some research and write a little about the origins and symbols of this holiday. I also wanted to pose the question, “Should Christians celebrate Halloween?” This may seem like a no-brainer to the average Christian, but more and more, the church is embracing the world and /or…
No thoughtful man can deny the fact that the Jews are, beyond any question, the most formidable and most remarkable race which has appeared in the world. – Winston Churchill, UK Prime Minister We see it on the news all the time, anti-semitic propaganda claiming that Israel is responsible for the middle east conflict. That…
“You can’t get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me.” ~C.S. Lewis You have now entered my favorite happy place! It’s no secret that not only am I a bookworm but a struggling Bibliophile as well. If you’re looking for good Christian books to read, you’ve come to…
