your life referring to something called Epiphany lately. Maybe you are a little cloudy on its meaning. Don’t worry you’re definitely not alone. I would venture to guess that many followers of Jesus don’t even know what it really is all about.
Here’s a quick look – Epiphany – We use the word to describe the moment when we finally understand something. It’s like the whole lightbulb going on moment.
Epiphany is actually an event in the history of the bible. It’s the event known by the church as the visit of the wisemen, or more accurately the Magi. These were men who weren’t part of the Jewish heritage. They were outsiders or what the bible calls Gentiles. The word Gentile is a description of people from other nations.
Epiphany is the day when the church celebrates the visit of the wisemen to the place where Jesus was living. They saw the star (a light in the sky) and it revealed to them a new thing. Much like an idea is marked by a lightbulb today!
So all in all this day known as Epiphany is a day of a new idea or a new thing coming to the world. This new thing was Jesus. Epiphany is the marker for the time when God revealed himself to people outside of the Jewish tradition. It was God intervening in the history of the world in his son Jesus.
Whether you are a churched person or not, Epiphany is for you! You see Jesus came to the world to show you a new way of living. He came to show you a new thought, idea, life. Perhaps today you can turn on a light and be reminded of the light of Jesus that came to the world to show you his love. If you’re a Jesus follower, then you are a light to the people around you.
So there it is, Epiphany. Today take a moment and relish the new idea!
ould you imagine someone approaching you and offering you anything you want? Think about it. You’re sitting at home, watching t.v. and the doorbell rings.

people bring in the New Year with a favored activity of making resolutions. Do you make them? How long do you keep them? Most people will make resolutions for the weight they’ll never lose and the money they’ll never save. We’ll make deals with ourselves that if we just get the right job we’ll pay off our debts, or buy gym memberships then we’ll really lose the weight. But why don’t our resolutions work? 
grew up hearing a phrase that echoes to this day, It’s not what you say but how you say it. I could not agree more!
just had the opportunity to meet with two wonderful ladies of faith. They were both in assisted living homes and were semi-mobile. These two women were able to get around to their therapy but not much more than that. They were very reliant on people to come and visit with them.

love Thanksgiving. It’s a great holiday and a wonderful chance to get together with family to give thanks for life’s many blessings. One tradition we have when my wife’s family gets together is to answer the question, What are you thankful for? 
Have you ever been caught sleeping when you were supposed to awake? Maybe it was at work and you were just exhausted, so you took a little nap only to be caught by the boss. Maybe it was in class and you just couldn’t stand the lecture so you took a little snooze. Or maybe the preacher just droned on and on, and the late night football game kept you up a little later than normal.
