Sunny Side Up - The most beautiful Christmas lights of all

Sunny Side Up - The most beautiful Christmas lights of all

Last weekend. Thirty-seven degrees below zero, sunny and no wind. Chickadees chirping, woodpeckers pecking, snow making crisp gasps under my boots. And me, moseying along the row of spruce trees in our side yard, loppers in hand. Humming Christmas.
Sunny Side Up - Truth must be told to be heard

Sunny Side Up - Truth must be told to be heard

The future sat beside me at the annual Christmas banquet of a community organization. Five fingers old, big eyes, bubbly and adorable. With her mother busy on her left, and the Preacher watching activities on my right, I engaged her in conversation.

Sunny Side Up - The unique and essential Christian headgear

Never jump off a bridge to rescue a hat, someone wise told me once. Not even, I suppose, the most recent addition to my winter wardrobe arsenal.

I won’t be winning any “Best Grandparent” awards soon. Not after the week I recently spent with the Beans in their parents’ absence. Grandparents are just older, more tired parents.
Sunny Side Up - Knowing Jesus brings joy in hard times

Sunny Side Up - Knowing Jesus brings joy in hard times

These are excellent times to prove the truth of God-inspired words of scripture. Ancient words promising that even in hard times, following Christ brings serenity, peace and joy. I miss talking about this with my Bible study friends.
Sunny Side Up - Embrace the main character of Easter

Sunny Side Up - Embrace the main character of Easter

My family and I have thoroughly enjoyed the Chosen, the world’s first ever multi-season television show about the life of Christ. If you haven’t caught it, look for it on the app or YouTube. You won’t be sorry.
Sunny Side Up - Just one old boy’s story

Sunny Side Up - Just one old boy’s story

It’s not one of the nobler stories from the Second World War, but it’s a very human one. For that reason alone, it deserves telling. Sometimes we forget that the good old boys we’re all so grateful to, were once just that – boys.
