Happy Monday! It’s the last Monday before Christmas and now comes my all time favorite. It has withstood the hands of time. It was written in 1816 and performed the first time in 1818 at a midnight mass in Austria. Over 200 years ago, it must have actually been a silent night. But what about […]
It’s Time to Pray! The Alliance family will be joining our hearts and hands together—on our knees—for a 40 Days of Prayer focus that will begin on January 3. Each day will offer a thematic devotional reflection and prayer points authored by an Alliance leader or family member. The devotionals will be arranged in six […]
Luke 1:26-38 The Birth of Jesus Foretold 26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David.

Happy Monday! If you are like me, you are saying goodbye to fall and Thanksgiving and moving right along into the Christmas season. This year has been different for sure, but all we can do is try to make the best of what we have to deal with. One thing I know, our God is […]
Happy Monday! Sometimes, I have an abundance of words and really hope you are patient with me. This week, I have no words and I really hope you are patient with me. Sometimes, the world takes all of my words. What the world can’t take though, is my faith and my love. His Words are […]
Happy Monday! I have been waiting for that little “God nudge” this week, the nudge in some direction for the weekly email. This week, the only nudge I have gotten, is to PRAY. I can be doing almost anything and suddenly I feel like I need to pray. And I do. Maybe we […]
