Welcome to Episode 150 of the Warrior Words podcast!

This week, I have an early Christmas message.

Christmas was meant to be the most hope-filled, the most love-filled time of the year. But for many of us, walking through the various storms of life, it's difficult to see the hope or the love.

Sometimes the pain and loss blind us to the blessings so freely given to us by God.

Don't let the enemy win. Don't let him steal the joy and blessings God has for you.

It is my wish that my message offers you some hope, but know that if it does, that hope may have come through me, but it came from Him - The King of the Universe. The King of All Creation. The King Who came to us as a little baby in a stable in Bethlehem. He is the one Who offers you hope, beauty, and love.

At Christmas. And every day.

So spend time with Him:

• In prayer
• In worship
• In Adoration - even if you're not Catholic. If you are open, find an Adoration Chapel and sit with Him. Pour your heart out to Him.

Have a Blessed Christmas and a Wonderful New Year celebration!

Welcome to Episode 149 of the Warrior Words podcast!

In this short Bits of Biblical Beauty (BoBB) episode, I talk more about the beauty of Advent. This second week focuses on Faith, and we light the second purple candle, known as the Bethlehem Candle. It's about how Jesus judges with righteousness and mercy, not on appearances, even though He experienced the opposite from the moment He began His human life in the womb of Mary to the moment He gave up His human life in obedience on the cross.

Welcome to Episode 148 of the Warrior Words podcast!

I have a very short episode for you this week. As I mentioned in a previous episode, I had an ablation for my lower back and an ankle reconstruction surgery last week. Yes, both procedures occurred less than 48 hours apart.

That scheduling was actually a blessing in disguise.

I am home and able to do most things. Except I can't walk. At all. No weight at all on the ankle, and the splint is huge. I'll post a photo on my community tab over on YouTube.

Let me just say that my toes are freezing because none of my extra-large, super-warm socks are big enough to cover them.

I am super grateful for everyone who has prayed, sent messages, helped with rides, and helped with groceries. Everything has been a blessing.

I look forward to getting back to my normal routine in January.
