May God bless amd protect her always. Thank you for this beautiful reflection. It’s so easy to identify ourselves with the wise men instead of King Herold. But after reading your words, I realized that when I fear something, I do try to control things more often than I would like. I pray for all of us to let God be in control of our lives – in every single circumsingle. God bless!

Yes, Joe LaCombe is still writing for this website but has requested to write every other week instead of every week because of increased commitments at home. We are a group of volunteer writers and are very grateful for the time that Joe has been able to write for us as a volunteer.

Is he still part of this website?

May we continue our trust in God in our daily spiritual journey. God bless his people especially those who are in darkness.

How I wish I could just be cozy in my comfort zone. But life has it’s challenges. I am touched of how you’ve explained the magi’s way of taking things one step at a time filled with faith, hope and trust until they’ve reached the child Jesus. So inspiring!

I love this because it underlines the sense of blind faith they had. They knew in their heart they were going to see the one true God incarnate. Thank you, Laura for all of your work dedicated to the Lord.
