The Christmas Scale
This is beautiful. Perhaps one day I will tell a story so profound. Merry Christmas! The Lord has come. May there be joy!
Cheeky Reflections
Now that you, my fabulous readers, have been more acquainted with Cheeky and his adventures over the past week, I’ll share with you what he meant to me. To me, Cheeky symbolized childhood, creativity, and rest. Helping him on his adventures was something reminiscent of my childhood. It was exciting, it was fun, it was…
C is for Cheeky
Like I said before, Cheeky became more and more brazen throughout the month. Here he is spying on my roommate during her private, shower time. I’m happy to say that he thought enough in advance to don a makeshift raincoat! However, he did not think about cleaning the shower head before snapping this picture… alas.…
A Cheeky Christmas
Despite his many adventures — and there are more pictures and stories to come!– even Cheeky knows the true meaning of Christmas. It’s not about what we get or even what we give. It’s about who was born. Jesus, sustainer of the universe, chose to be God with us, Emmanuel. That is something we will…
Great Moments in Parenting!

Sneaky Cheeky
He started off fairly harmless. Cheeky, my Elf on a Shelf, was impish, mischievious even, but harmless. We’d find him under planters, in pockets, or hiding in the refrigerator. He was like a long lost friend. We sought him and were excited to find him. It was typically accompanied by merriment and laughter! Cheeky…
Return of the Cheeky
Cheeky’s adventures continued… He once accompanied me to work, lovingly encircling my Diet Coke. I laughed until I snorted at this scene! He also got more creative. Seeking sustenance in odd places: He is resourceful! Using a chopstick and dental floss to catch dinner… I really hope he didn’t catch anything!
The Adventures of Cheeky!
This is Cheeky: He’s my Elf on a Shelf. I took one look at those shifty eyes and crooked grin and knew he was impish. Worthy of the name Cheeky! My friends Sara and Stephanie bought him for me last Christmas, but I didn’t get him until January so this year is his debut. If…
O Come, Emmanuel
This is the theme song of Simeon. He waited, longingly, mournfully for his Savior to come. We are doing the same. He has come once, but has promised to come again. The world is broken and still in need of a savior. O come, Emmanuel. The God who is always with us.
