Christmas Fire

Christmas is a time of year that holds magic and joy, peace and reconciliation, yet for some it is a time of broken memories and shattered dreams.

Perhaps we should rekindle that hope in those whose flame has been extinguished, perhaps we should show those with shattered dreams that Christmas cheer and that warmth of smile that Christmas gives. Let us help those who have forgotten to remember. Isn't that what Christmas is really about? Hope coming into a hopeless world, a fire being relit for peace and justice, grace and mercy? Let us tell our friends that hope is here and the time has come to strike a match and start a blaze.

Fall Down in Worship

A song/poem I discovered in the depths of my mind:

When all is dark
And hope seems no more
There’s a song in your heart
A song to restore

A light flickers on
A glimmer of hope
God’s only Son
A beacon of hope

Fall down in worship
Fall down in praise
Bow down before him
The King of All Days



The skies sing his praise
The stars shout his name
We all bow down
Before you Lord
