Respite For the Weary
Here we are in the beginnings of the Christmas season, and I already feel surrounded by lots of the swirling and twirling activities that accompany the season.

Will I choose Jesus or will I choose the season?
I invite you to join me in reading the 25-day devotional, "Who is this Jesus and Why did He Come?". Each day, 5 defining verses are provided for you to "be still in" during the rush of the holy-days. This small booklet can be found on-line at www.respitefortheweary.com.

Dear Lord,
Be powerfully present with your people far and wide. Fill each of us with your present day strength and eternal hope. Deliver us from the enemy as we hold fast to you. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
