Rebecca, our Duke intern, visited us this weekend. Everyone was so glad to see her and to have an opportunity to hear about her seminary life. She certainly is becoming more confident in knowing her call to ministry and we wish her well on her continuing journey. What a blessing she has been to us.
Leigh responded to the “Christmas Consumerism” post by telling me about an interesting idea for alternative gift giving – www.historictrees.org. This conservation organization provides saplings from historic trees to those who make donations to their conservation program. As stated by this organization, this effort to preserve historically and botanically significant trees “offers a unique way to connect both our past-and our future.”
So many traditions surround the Christmas story that we can easily forget what is scripturally known about the birth of Jesus. The General Board of Discipleship offers this quiz to sharpen our knowledge.
