“Make time for prayer now…Don’t wait. God is here and wants to be with us right now and will meet us right where we are...I had a wise, wise priest-friend decades ago tell me, ‘Becky, pray as you can, not as you can’t.’" thechristophersblog.org/2026/03/26/wer…

“Being less cynical ensures a happier life.” Best-selling author Dean Koontz made that observation in an essay on his website, but it’s an idea that has long found its way into his novels because he has experienced its truth personally. thechristophersblog.org/2026/03/12/dea…

"Nathan and Elizabeth fans will be happy and surprised at the end of S13"! Interesting conversation with @brbird and #TonyRossi on a number of topics, and yes, I agree that it's better to light a candle then to curse the darkness! #Hearties

The stories and characters in Hallmark's "When Calls the Heart" are reflective of the Prayer of St. Francis. Love is sown where there is hatred, hope affirmed in times of despair, and faith awakened in periods of doubt. #Hearties thechristophersblog.org/2026/02/24/whe…

"Some people count sheep. I count opportunities that I have grasped with the Holy Spirit together, side by side, just as Jesus sent out His disciples two by two…There’s great joy in counting our blessings of opportunities to bring light.” thechristophersblog.org/2026/01/27/dea…

James noted, “Blindness taught me patience and staying in the moment…I’m a better person because I’m blind. I wouldn’t be the poet I am if I was not blind." thechristophersblog.org/2026/01/12/as-…

James’ optimism was unwavering, even as his loss of vision slowly progressed over two decades. “Everybody carries a cross,” he reflected. “That’s the message of Jesus. What do you do? You give up, or you get up.” thechristophersblog.org/2026/01/12/as-…

Megan’s focus on teaching children about their faith is reflected throughout “The True Gifts of Christmas.” She believes parents can use the 25 entries in the book to ask, “Where is Christ in this part of the holiday season?” thechristophersblog.org/2025/11/18/meg…

One of Megan's suggestions is, “Give quietly because the quieter the gift, the happier the heart.” thechristophersblog.org/2025/11/18/meg…
