The Homemakers Haven: Christmas Decorating Edition

I thoguht I’ve participated in the following themed blog day at least once in the past, but I can only find a similarly-named theme post. Maybe I participated in comments only or my posts never made it past draft stage. I’m going to try to participate in this regularly, as it is always edifying [...]

Christmas Gripes Again

Why…
1. Do people complain about christmas music/decorations before thanksgiving?
I welcome it if it’s something I would like after thanksgiving, such as the music and eggnog. I’m never a fan of oversized baubles or blowup snowman or santa. But I love the greenery and listen to christmas music all year long.
2. Do people throw such a [...]

The Gospel Call

The Gospel, or Outward, Call is the outward proclamation of the Gospel. It is for all, regardless of nationality, gender, class, etc. It is not to be confused with the Effectual, or Inward, Call, which we will talk about on Day 4. A person can hear the gospel call, yet never hear the effectual call. [...]

Hanukkah:Fulfilled! 2008 – Ordo Salutis

Wow, Hanukkah and Christmas are really creeping up on me.  The month has been flying by so fast.  At the same time, it seems like such a long time since Thanksgiving.  Yet, here we are five days away from Hanukkah and nine days away from Christmas.  I decided that each year I am going to [...]

Obligatory Thanksgiving Post

Well, i’m going to be totally cliche and do a thanksgiving post, because i have much to be thankful for.  I hate to sound cheesy, but i can’t help it if it’s true.  I first must state that i give thanks to God for everything, and i’m not just “thankful” in general.  There is someone [...]

Hanukkah:Fulfilled!

Here is the first installment of my new Fulfilled! series. Stores everywhere are decked out for the holidays, so this seems a relevant place to start. Do keep in mind this is an experiment and i’m not trying to uncover new truths or anything. We no longer have obligation to follow any [...]

Fulfilled!

::shuffles out sheepishly and waves::Hi.
Guess i have neglected writing yet again. It’s no surprise. I would be even longer had i chose to participate in NaNoWriMo this year. We are now nine days into the month and i haven’t written anything yet, so maybe next year. That is my life motto: [...]

Halloween

So I was looking my Google analytics reports and saw some interesting stuff in the keywords. Last year I wrote a “review” of a book on Halloween I read. This year, it’s bringing readers. Okay, maybe not readers, as all but one spent 0 seconds on the site. And the last? [...]

Up on the Hilltop

(Sung to the tune of Up on the Housetop)
Up on the hilltop, people pause
Telling Congress “change our laws!”
Christians refuse, making lots of noise
You can’t take away our Christmas joys.
No, no, no! We will not go.
No, no, no! We will not go.
Up on the hilltops, sound the drum:
Down in the streets proclaim Christ is come.
First comes [...]
