Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...wherever in the world you live! I hear you're a chocoholic too - I won't tell a soul! Chocolate is good for the body - and God's Word is good for the soul: "O taste and see that the Lord is good...(Psalm 34:8 KJV)." So please join me for a few moments of fun, food and inspiration - it's all calorie-free (believe that and I'll sell you the Brooklyn Bridge) and might even make your day!

Bible Byte 'n Chocolate Chew for Today

"Bang, Bang, Boom: Holiday Bandits on the Run!?!"

Daily Manna's Bible reading: Matthew 6:19-21 . . . Matthew 6:1-4 (NIV)

"Here comes Santa Claus........right down Santa Claus Lane...." - it's DECEMBER, the month of gladness, goodness, goodies - and GREED! OK, we're not about to shoot Santa or any such terrible thing......we ARE revealing two invisible holiday bandits out to get you and your family - if you'll let them!

Take a minute to read "It's Time to Light the Candles of December" - as Pastor/Poet Greg Asimakoupoulos "exposes the holiday bandits of envy and greed!"

Turn the month of December into a time of reflection and response to the King born in Bethlehem and in the hearts of all believers who trust in His Name. Here's a series of daily December devos to give you a jump-start for your Christmas worship - and to run these "holiday bandits" out of town, wherever in the world you live!

A Devo-a-Day for December!
