Prepare Him Room - by Laura Duke
Prepare Him Room - by Laura Duke

In the story of the birth of Jesus, we can see how different people ‘made room’ for His coming. In a very literal and corporal sense, Mary made room for Jesus to grow in her body. Joseph made room in his life to be a father to a child which wasn’t biologically his own.

What Do You Do With Your 'Not-Enough'? - by Laura Duke
What Do You Do With Your 'Not-Enough'? - by Laura Duke

Innocent? - by Elizabeth Reynolds
Innocent? - by Elizabeth Reynolds

He was the first baby. Ever! And he turned out to be a murderer. And I thought, how sad. And how incredibly typical of sin, and the human nature. It could only ever be downhill from there. Or was it?…
