Wise Men Still Seek Him-An Eggnog Vignette

There is a dairy in Southwest Virginia, Homestead Creamery, that puts out special Scripture bottles ever holiday season.  The bottles appear around Thanksgiving and continue to be available through December for the current year.

Not all production includes this Scripture bottle so you have to keep an eye out for one.  My favorite is their holiday egg nog.

Hanukkah…The Festival of Lights and a Prayer

Hanukkah

A small band of faith filled men attacked the Greeks and, against all odds, they defeated them and took back the Temple.

When the Israelites recaptured their temple from the Syrian Greeks, they recovered a single vial of sanctified oil.  There was other oil but it was defiled. 

One vial
