Jesus, Captain of My Soul
I know and hear daily of huge historical strides having been and being made by self-directed men. Men who lean on and live by the words and concept, “I am the captain of my soul.” We’ve probably all heard that quote a few times, especially this week. Life coaches and self-improvement masters from all walks, … Continue reading
O Come, O Come Emmanuel
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. And what … Continue reading
The Light
The Light is Christ Jesus, whom God sent. And for most of us who believe in Him, this is the season we celebrate God’s greatest gift to all mankind, His Son, the Light, having come into this world as man. All of us here at Vicktory Farm & Gardens pray that you have an incredible celebration … Continue reading
Anticipation
Ever since I chose the theme for the Header Challenge this week my brain has been singing this song. ‘Cept that it changes it up to the lyrics that my childhood and young adult brain could handle, no matter how many times I was corrected or realized that it didn’t go. Because I wanted to sing, … Continue reading
Well There You Have It
I was debating as to what to write about today, as usual my mind is full and in a million different directions. I had pasted a bit of my favorite song of the season, Advent, along with a few passages from Psalms, a little something Jesus said to the Pharisees and I was thinking that … Continue reading

As the candles all grow shorter, it is Christ that I wait for. Hold my breath for. Crave. Christmas, a bright light at a dark time, illuminating the Christ, our bright guiding light in a dark life, in a dark world. A time I have come to know as the spring board for the ordinary … Continue reading

Advent Ponderings on Waiting
So, I’ve been thinking….Recently there has been quite a bit of talk, at least in my circles in person and here on the blogesphere, about the coming of end times. Don’t freak out, dear reader, this is no theological, (big word I can’t spell meaning study of end times), conversation today. I have no idea … Continue reading
Second Sunday of Advent
This morning I woke up late, I don’t even remember hearing the radio program Dirt and I listen to on Sunday mornings. My head was pounding, I couldn’t move it and the dull rainy morning light felt like a ice pick in my head, so much for the drugs Dirt picked up for me to … Continue reading
Encouragement in Womanhood, From Mary, the Mother of God
Advent rememberings. Advent is a good time for rememberings, for remembering what God has done in our lives, to sit with your children by a cozy fire and tell them what God has done. Telling of the Egypt he has taken us out of, as a new nation of believers, aliens, countryless awaiting for our … Continue reading
