Globally the most-streamed Christmas song on Spotify is Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas." The first on the list to mention Jesus is entry number 71. christianitytoday.com/ct/2021/decemb…

It was an honor to speak at the first convocation for the @obunews Prison Divinity Program, which offers inmates in Oklahoma prisons the opportunity to earn a BA in Christian Studies. After graduating, they will minister to other inmates in prisons across the state!

This morning after the kids left for school the dog went into Jack's room and retrieved his pajamas. Not to chew them (like she does everything else), but just to lay on them. He is her boy.
