In fact, I often get asked, "Hey, what do YOU think of Tim Tebow." 

 

My honest answer has been up until this point...

the pregnant pause

 

Perhaps our mistake is thinking
that love will always come
in the shape we have known it:

a happy ending

Hello! It is once again time for me to share some of my Christmas "tradition" pet peeves. As in those parts of the Christmas tradition that are often in the Christmas story but not actually present in Scripture... anywhere!

 

 

Jesus was born on December 25th, 0 A.D. (C.E.)

So this week the High School Summer Program will put on this summer's play selection:

 

"All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten"

TO READ OR NOT TO READ...
MY ANSWER IS ALWAYS: TO READ!

You might wonder what books I am reading for this summer. I am an avid reader so I won't bore you with some of my pure vacation reads (new romance, sci fi and mysteries always top that list!).

Confirmation is a wonderfully open process at Manhattan Beach Community Church. It is a time that the 8th and 9th graders of our church get to set a school year aside and figure out the story of their faith journeys. This year's class was really amazing.
