“The story of Christ’s birth is a story of promise, hope, and a revolutionary love.

So, what happened? What was once a time to celebrate the birth of a savior has somehow turned into a season of stress, traffic jams, and shopping lists.

And when it’s all over, many of us are left with presents to return, looming debt that will take months to pay off, and this empty feeling of missed purpose. Is this what we really want out of Christmas?

What if Christmas became a world-changing event again?

Welcome to Advent Conspiracy.”

Do you know this dog? I’m looking for his owner!

It’s part of some of my greatest childhood memories, the Thanksgiving Parade downtown!

Liz Jordan Blog 
I made a new one… it’s totally personal. If you don’t keep one, let me tell you that after blogging for a year now, it’s not just fun but an archive of your life that brings reflection and understanding of who you are in this world. You should try it. And check mine out here.

From Lacie, her daughter: “There are so many wonderful things about her that I could say so I will try to make this short. My dad left when I was in the 8th grade and I have a brother and a sister.  It wasnt easy for my mom but she worked and made sure that we were always well taken care of.  She has been the best spritual role model anyone could ever ask for.  After remarrying again she thought things were better and had a son. They ended up getting a divorce after 10 years and she’s been a single mom once again caring for her 11 yr-old son.

She works as church secretary at Central Assembley of God in Angleton, Texas.  While striving to make ends meet she is always pressing forward doing what God has called her to do.  If you were to ask anybody about my mom they would say she was a true woman of God always seeking his Kingdom first, and the best thing about it is all her children now live for the Lord. I would not be the woman I am today without her getting down on her knees and asking God daily for him to protect and bless her childern.  I really think my mom deserves this, she would never expect it.”

Today I’m broadcasting from the venue for the big Lead Me On 20th Anniversary show with Amy Grant!! This is history happening before our very eyes and will be a wonderful time with friends and family to sing outloud the music that helped make us who we are.

I had a chance to catch up with Amy a couple weeks ago while she was just halfway through the tour.
