Let There Be Peace on Earth...




On this truly historic day, peace has finally come to the Middle East, as the long and painful war between Israel and Hamas has ended through a remarkable peace agreement signed by President Trump.

My eyes are overflowing with tears as I watch the prisoners joyfully reuniting with their families, hearts that have long prayed and waited for this very moment now overflowing with gratitude and relief.

May this be the beginning of lasting peace, not only in the Middle East, but throughout the entire world.


Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
— Matthew 5:9

As we enter into the holy Christmas season, may God’s great mercy and grace continue to bless our world with peace.

With hope and prayer,

Haul Out the Halloween ... Hallmark Channel ... 8pm *NEW

Haul Out the Halloween Storyline: New, Halloween-obsessed neighbors inspire residents of Evergreen Lane to haul out their spookiest costumes and dΓ©cor to become EverSCREAM Lane.

*Please note: I don’t typically feature Halloween movies or programs here, but I know many will want to see this third film in the series. I’m hoping it focuses on the lighthearted, fun side of the holiday and steers clear of anything dark or unsettling.

I also wanted to briefly mention that "Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Buried at C" will be airing Sunday night on the Hallmark Channel. I personally won’t be watching this one, as one of the main characters is a ghost. I just wanted to note it here, in case anyone wonders why it wasn’t promoted.
