moreWhen You’re Just Ready for the Rest of Christmas
On Friday, December 21 st, 2012Whenever Christmas begins to burden, it’s a sign that I’ve taken on something of the world and not of Christ. The Farmer, he brings home these four miniature candles with the groceries and he pecks me on the cheek. Crazy, how wonders never cease!
