Journey to Bethlehem

I just love Christmas productions. I love the patched together...imperfect...off key humans all coming together with the same desire to celebrate the birth of Jesus. With limited skill, limited time, limited resources and ability, congregation after congregation offer up their “loaves & fishes” to the multitude.  These loving offerings are received into our hearts with endearment.  We are modern day followers of that star in the East; modern day souls who shepherd and seek wisdom and who are walking on that path to the Savior of us all.  It’s a beautiful thing.




Our delightful ward Christmas Party!
Good tidings of great joy!
The good tiding of great joy that the angels declared at Christ's birth are alive and well today. :)

Visitors Center



Today after church I went for a lovely walk with the sun, the breeze and birds, over to the visitors center and chatted with the sister missionaries.  I sat on the bench at the Christus statue and listened to the beautiful words of Christ speaking and felt a peace and comfort and love.  I watched people take photos by the sparkling fountain and others sit peacefully on the grass just enjoying the day.  A group of Filipinos came in and sat down and the Sisters played for them the Saviors message in Tagalog.  I just love this place.

“Sounds among the vales & hills, in the woods and by the rills, of the breeze and of the bird, by the gentle murmur stirred - sacred songs beneath, above, have one chorus: God is love.”
