Christmas Reflections

Here is an Advent reflection I wrote for a service last year from John 1. Merry Christmas.

Christening Update!

Months and months ago, I posted about contemplating whether to have my baby christened and how I could convince my husband to be cool with it.  Well, after a long time of procrastination, the baby and his big brothers will all be christened at our Episcopal church next month.  Or should I just say ‘
