Welcome to my blog. I mostly write about Christian Living, but I enjoy the Kentucky Wildcats, New Orleans Saints, and a good cup of coffee.

I love liturgy. The order and rhythm of it is beneficial to the soul. I also love Christmas. Advent devotionals changed my life. They helped make my Christmas more meaningful. Like the author, Jonathan Gibson, I have recently found them leaving something to be desired.
I’m always looking for simple, gospel-focused books for my daughters. They are one and three so I need something that really boils things down to a simple level. That’s why I love the children’s books that The Good Book Company produces.
Growing up, I never really knew what Advent was apart from all the fun calendars you could open, but as I got older and learned the meaning of Advent and started participating in it with my own family, it has become really meaningful to me. Advent means “coming” and we take all 24 days leading to Christmas day to intentionally focus on the coming Christ as a baby. I’ve found this intentional focus helps me keep the true meaning of Christmas at the forefront of the season and it increases my joy in Christ…
Christmas is a perfect time to talk about Jesus. People are singing songs about Him. Nativities are everywhere (no matter what you believe about the second commandment). The culture, even if they try not to, has to in some ways acknowledge Christ. Yet often times, Christians can be silent.
