Christmas and Hygge
Stories of Hope
The Danes are the happiest people on earth according to many surveys. They are dedicated to what they call Hygge. Snuggling together on a comfortable couch on a cold winters night with candles, cholocate and an open fire. It's being intentional about community and happiness. Many of us try to create this experience at Christmas. Many of us try to live out a theology or philosophy of love everyday, as this is the essence of the Christian story.

Listening for the nudges
Stories of Hope
We are all going to face changes that require us to make a decision, and when we do we need to trust that slowing down and listening for the nudges outside of our intelligence and emotions will help. Things like sitting quietly, reading, going for a long walk in a forest and listening to trusted friends can make a huge difference.

Pride and worm food.
Stories of Hope
I'm a terrible gardener and am in awe of farmers who can grow things like olives and grapes. We are all gifted with certain skills and opportunities, but being too proud or too humble can spoil the gift. King Herod was too proud and ended up being worm food before his time.

Christian Living Series 18 Leaving a Lasting Legacy
Stories of Hope
Few of us will leave a legacy like Walt Disney, but we all leave a legacy in some way. How we treat people and the way we make them feel leaves a mark on their personality and psyche, especially those we are closest to. If we design an amazing thing, it will probably be forgotten in a generation or so, but sowing love, lasts through the ages.
