A Christmas Special you will LOVE! Christmas in Sugar Hill

Over the 43 minutes during “Christmas in Sugar Hill,” you will enjoy music and encouraging words, including the answer to this question; “Why a Baby?” The music and settings are so quaint. Save it for Christmas Eve, or share it anytime through Christmas Week. It will drop on Monday, December 21, 2020, and remain available for you to stream through the Saturday following Christmas.


A Quirky, but Great Series from Netflix: The Queen’s Gambit

This is not about a queen, the crown, or the royal family. This is a fictional story of a young lady that is a chess prodigy and her odd
life as an orphan, then a world champion chess player.
I think you’ll like it. Beware of language.


Another Fun Read from Clive Cussler: Odessa Sea

This is a great, fast-paced read that will keep you engaged from the first page. Dirk Pitt, the director of the National Underwater and Marine Agency, is on the Black Sea, helping to locate a lost Ottoman shipwreck when he responds to an urgent Mayday—“Under attack!”—from a nearby freighter. But when he and his colleague Al Giordino arrive, there is nobody there. Just dead bodies and a smell of sulfur in the air. As Pitt and Giordino explore, a blast from the stern scuttles the ship swiftly, almost taking them with it. 


A Great App that Feeds You Great Reads: MEDIUM

I love this app. It’s totally worth the in-app purchase. I use it every day and find articles of great value, every day!


BONUS! A Great Article from Nathaniel Thomas Mcgill; Read This!

Here is a teaser: People say they want justice, but then they don’t want Jesus. They say they want peace but don’t want Jesus. They want hope but don’t want Jesus. Great Word, NATE!


A Quote from Harold L. Senkbeil

“Most of us were taught that God would love us if and when we change. In fact, God loves you so that you can change. What empowers change, what makes you desirous of change is the “When calamity strikes, you can count on God—not because you feel close to him, but because he remains close to you.” He encourages us, “In life’s tight spots, focus not on your faith, but on God’s faithfulness. Look not at your promises to him, but his loving promises to you in his Son. Rest assured, those promises include your name.” of love. It is that inherent experience of love that becomes the engine of change.”
