Hello, December
Well hello there, December. Where did you come from? Another year has passed, so very quickly. I am facing changes that make me a little nervous.

Rest, The Elusive Necessity
I was reminded this morning that no one can take my peace, unless my guard is down, and I give it to them. My guard is down when I have had no rest (I'm not talking about sleep). We must labor to enter into God's rest. A line in Hebrews 4:11 struck me. "Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest..." How do you rest? Do you schedule time for it frequently or surrender only when you cannot go on any longer? Society demands that we be available, twenty-four seven, in our work ...
