Christmas is just around the corner! The shopping has started; the greeting cards are being addressed; decorations are being dusted out of the garage. Suddenly, it seems like the season is upon us like a wave of excitement, expectation and exhaustion.

Moms especially feel the weight of Christmastime. Creating lasting memories for the family, getting all the details in order, all while not wanting to lose the true meaning and significance behind this most holy of times.

Elizabeth George's new Christmas Special - "Christmas: What's a Mom to Do?" is a perfect guide on how not to lose the ...

I'll be the first to admit that having regular family dinners can be a challenge.  As our kids have gotten older and involved in more activities, it's affected our ability to schedule this special time around the table, as much as we'd like.  At the same time, these are the days when it's more critical than ever to be intentional about bringing the family together.

A headline in a recent LA Times article read "Fade-Out on Family."  Though the article was really about the fade-out of family TV programs, it also spoke to the fade-out of the family unit. 

Reflecting that the scarcity of family TV programs largely reflects societal and pop culture shifts, the article noted that the family unit itself has markedly changed.

There are different types of numbers - natural numbers, integers, rational numbers, complex numbers, computable numbers  . . . then, there are real numbers. 

During these significant days for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, here are some of the ministry's real numbers:
