As I am writing this article, the temperature has been in the 60’s and 70’s, my yard smells like freshly cut grass, and I’m no longer running my air conditioner on a daily basis. That means only one thing - (everybody sing together…), “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas….” No matter how much it doesn’t always feel like Christmas in Las Vegas, there is just something magical about this time of year. Luke 2:11, perhaps one of the most hope-filled verses in the Bible says, “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.” And the world was changed forever.

The world shouldn't define Christians as anti-abortion, anti-homosexuality, and republicans but it should define the church as LOVE. God does not need better methods for the church to grow, He needs better men...

This is Nate and I a year ago in Vegas.
We had no idea what God had in store for us just a short year later.

Matthew 11:28-30 (The Message)

"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."

*I read this and thought I walk with Him why do I not feel this free living or light burdens then my beautiful husband reminded me that I may be burden in this physical world but my soul finds rest in the Lord. He is right.

"The greatest test in life is to see whether we will hearken to and obey God's commandments in the midst of the storms in life. It is not to endure the storms, but to choose the right while they rage." - Elder Henry B. Eyring

* Not that this is a storm but there has been some tough times. God continues to be faithful.
