“Is it right for us Christians to celebrate Valentine’s Day?”

My Berhan proposed to me on Valentine’s Day. He invited me to dinner and he hardly said a word throughout the dinner. I mean that was not something unusual. My Berhan normally listens to me while I talk none-stop. So I didn’t feel anything different. Well, after the fact, yes, I realized that he went to the rest room and washed his hand and face at least twice. He was planning to give me the ring in a drink and he changed his mind at the last minute and bought something. After dinner, he took out a beautiful pen gift box and said, “I thought you like this pen.”

If you are a girl and the man you are expecting to propose to you gets to his jacket pocket and takes out a pen and gives you as a Valentine’s Day gift, what would you feel? Continue reading “Is it right for us Christians to celebrate Valentine’s Day?”

Brother’s Keeper

“Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

Then the LORD said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”

“Revelation Road”

Our kids went to school today after a weeklong break, thanks to winter storm Jonas!

So, to make our last day of this unexpected break a memorable one, my family and I spent yesterday night watching Part 2 of a movie called “Revelation Road”. We watched Part 1 last Thursday night.

Did we buy these movies? No, we didn’t. We “subscribed” to Pureflix Entertainment; a Christian film production company. If you subscribe to their service, they give you one month free subscription and if you like it, you will continue with them for $7.99 a month (just like Netflix – the difference is Pureflix only streams Christian movies where Christian moral values are respected and honored). I think I see myself continuing with them because these Christian movies are life changing. Continue reading “Revelation Road”
