As a child, my grandfather always read the story of Christ’s birth ahead of exchanging gifts. My father continued this important part of our celebration to his grandkids. Now the torch has been passed to me. Although the miles separate us this year, the tradition continues with this recounting of the birth of Jesus from the gospel according to Luke for my precious grand’s. Let us never fail to remember God’s greatest gift this season. Hope has come.#BeTheLight

Washboard Parables
After a decade of living in Central Texas, I’ve been blessed to have the opportunity to return to my native east Texas and reside again on my maternal family’s 100+ year old farm in Nacogdoches.
It’s in disrepair, but salvageable. It reminds me of so many lives I encounter, including myself. I’m on a journey to restore it rediscovering my roots along the way.
Nothing fancy, just real life, real memories, and real roots....a homeplace restored. One day at a time.
These are the stories that sustain me and give a light of Hope in a dark world.
Thanks for tuning in...
