The Conquering Hero - December 2016

“…He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free.”  Luke 4:18

Our daughter Isabella was particularly averse to using public restrooms due to one bad experience. It all began shortly after she had conquered potty-training. Every public toilette had since become the intrigue and highlight of her outings. That is, until she met up with a thunder cracking, super suction toilet at a local eating establishment.

The Uninvited Guest - November 2016

“I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels”  Isaiah 61:10

Isabella had fixed up a feast fit for a king. The guest list included her dolly’s, all of which were dressed like perfect ladies as they sat around the table of their consummate hostess. As the party ensued Isabella cautiously reached over to serve the tea while re-positioning a rumpled napkin.
