The Rebels Guide to Joy

These videos are short biographies on some of the great Christian song writers. I think that these videos do a beautiful job of showing that the Christian life is more than the stereotype "be a good person and your life will be great!" These artists suffered, even after their conversion. But what they achieved in their lifetimes has brought countless blessings to other believers for generations. Even if you're not a Christian, check these out...I think that you'll find these stories interesting no matter what your religious belief.

Transitions

I'm not very good at transitions. Transitions in my stories, transitions in my career, transitions in life. I would rather jump from one thing to the next than have those excruciating "in-between" steps. In my head, I know that those steps are the building blocks that make the bulk of "my story" worthwhile. But right now, as I face transitions in all aspects of my life, I can't help wishing that they'd just go away and leave me to my adventures. I don't want to deal with paper work and details! But I know that God gave me these transitions for a reason. So I begrudgingly take them, boringness and all. I just hope the plot picks up again. Soon.

The Christmas Story

"But the angel said to her 'Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.' "

-Luke 1:30-33
