If You are Happy and You Know It
Happy New Years to our Making Space for God community! I have this tune going through my head as I ring in the New Year, “ If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands… If you’re happy and you know it, tap your head..,” Okay – you can tell I have had lots of time with […]
Our True Love Gave to Us…
“On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me…” You remember the song, don’t you? The one about the presents that were given by someone’s “true love?” As we prepare for Christmas tomorrow, I want to encourage you all to make space for our true love, Jesus Christ. Somehow in the midst […]
