Congratulations! You made it. Christmas is here.

Yet, before we say goodbye to our Advent Remembers series, let’s share in one last conversation before the wrapping paper goes flying. Unwrap our final Advent episode as we focus on everlasting love.

Here’s a small excerpt: "You see for all the beauty of olam, this everlasting love, do you know why the words were penned in Jeremiah 31:3? Because the relationship was basically dead- over, and there aren’t a lot of Hallmark movies ending that way."

PS- Be sure to join me Thursday morning, bright and early, for a special Christmas reading. Merry Christmas, Friend!

Whether you're peacefully sipping eggnog or frantically baking and wrapping, let’s try something different this year.

Treat yourself, your family, and your guests to five minutes. Five minutes to remember the reason, the real reason. Hear the words of the true Christmas through the eyes of Mary, Joseph, and Heaven itself.

Join me for our annual Scripture reading, a re-telling of that first Christmas, releasing Sunday, December 21, to enjoy with your family and friends. (The episode will air again on Christmas morning.)

Before the gifts, before the goodies, let’s get back to the One it’s all about in the first place.

Did you know “holy day” is where we derive our word for holiday? I’m thinking December didn’t get the memo. With all the hustle and bustle, the Christmas season can feel way more hustle than holy.

I’ve got an idea. Let’s warm up together with another conversation in our Advent Remembers series. We’ll chat about joy in all the seasons, even Christmas.

www.glordinary.com Here’s a small excerpt: "They have no more wine. They have no more joy. So, what was supposed to be the happiest day (uh, week) of their lives is about to get… real bad. Honeymoon’s over before we even got there. They have no.more.joy. Ever been there? There now? Yeah, I get that.”

We’re in the thick of it now! December! Phew, brace yourself. My car said it was -3 degrees today, and that’s…well, that’s not making my weary world rejoice. But our Advent Remembers series is.

So join me to chat about peace. Let’s warm our souls and thaw our toes together.

www.glordinary.com Here’s a small excerpt: "It’s searching your heart, your thoughts, dividing between soul and spirit. In the messy places, you’re finding a treasure trove of His word under the “couch cushions” of your life. The stuffed “closets” of your mind start overflowing with Christ-like thoughts and actions, clearly not of your own. I’ve heard it said that the peace of Christ rules, where the word of Christ dwells."

The holidays are here! Bring on the extra. The extra goodies, gifts, and a little bit of the “Grinch-ies” too! It’s a lot, right?

Stick with me as we start our new series: Advent Remembers with a tricky little topic called Hope. It can feel like a life-line...or a swear word some days. So, let's chat.

www.glordinary.com Here’s a small excerpt: “But situations often seem hope-less, definitely not hope-full, and trying to stay hopeful is wearying. Hope is kind of its own animal, running parallel often times with grief. It can sting extra hard during those “magical” seasons. There’s a reason Elvis croons out “Blue Christmas”. And for some of us, it is, or certainly feels, like a Blue Christmas. But Romans 15:13 assures us that God is a God of Hope. And God’s really good at sharing. So, is it true? Does Hope Float?”
