Questions to Ask Before 2011
Posted by Danielle Bean in Family on Thursday, December 30, 2010 11:00 AM
Whatever your plans for New year’s Eve or New Year’s Day, the beginning of a new calendar year invites us to reflect on the past and focus on the future.
At the New Year’s Eve dinner party we host nearly every year, I subject friends and family alike my list of discussion questions. We usually wind up sharing a little and laughing a lot. You can use my list (or make your own!) for personal reflection... READ MORE
Sixth Day of Christmas

Christians, Awake And Greet The Happy Morn
Christians, awake, salute the happy morn
Whereon the Saviour of the world was born
Rise to adore the mystery of love
Which hosts of angels chanted from above
With them the joyful tidings first begun
Of God incarnate and the Virgin’s Son
Then to the watchful shepherds it was told
Who heard the angelic herald’s voice: “Behold,
I bring good tidings of a Saviour’s... READ MORE

The Art of Sleep
Posted by Lynn Wehner in Family on Wednesday, December 29, 2010 11:00 AM
You’re a new mom, and life seems to revolve around sleepless nights (and sometimes days) with your little one. But eventually, the baby actually sleeps, and so do you. Hooray!
Then, the child who was falling asleep in her spaghetti becomes the one who fights bedtime with a variety of stalling ploys that go way beyond the “Can I have a drink of water?” requests. And soon that same child who fights... READ MORE
Fifth Day of Christmas

Joy to the World!
Joy to the world, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.
No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is... READ MORE

Fourth Day of Christmas

Nativity, A Christmas Poem, John Donne
Immensity cloistered in thy dear womb,
Now leaves His well-belov’d imprisonment,
There He hath made Himself to His intent
Weak enough, now into the world to come;
But O, for thee, for Him, hath the inn no room?
Yet lay Him in this stall, and from the Orient,
Stars and wise men will travel to prevent
The effect of Herod’s jealous general doom.
Seest thou, my soul,... READ MORE

Childhood Memories on Film
Posted by Lynn Wehner in Family on Monday, December 27, 2010 3:05 PM
We gave a special gift to my dad this Christmas.
After years of talking about it and trying to find a projector that could handle the project, we had all of our old 8mm movies transferred to DVD format.
Sitting with my own family, watching the voiceless images of my childhood — set to music of the time by my sister and her husband — it was impossible not to be nostalgic. As I narrated the “who’s... READ MORE
