We’ve been spending some time on the weekends telling stories about people who found themselves in a “jam.” No likes obstacles or trouble, but they are a fact of life. Some of the most revered people of the Bible faced great difficulties. The question is not how to avoid all potential jams because we can’t….

That old Swedish cookie is called “Pepparkakor.” The house smelled wonderful as the first batch of cookies baked in the oven. The aroma took me back to when I was a child…
John weeks looked into the origins of the word Advent (the church season we are in right now) and this is what he discovered… The word Advent comes from the Latin word, “advenire”, conjugated as “adventus” which is a combination word of “ad” meaning, “to” or “toward” and “venire”, “come” which is conjugated as ventus,…
