A Christmas Card: Historical Facts and Personal Touch Do you know there is a gift within a Christmas card?

As a die-hard Washington Commanders fan, Jayden Daniels has my attention. Daniels has my attention not because he’s a rookie sensation bringing hope to a struggling franchise. It’s not because he’s one of fifteen black starting quarterbacks in the National Football League (NFL). No, It’s not because of his great sense of style and award-winning smile (though these are qualities he possesses). Daniels captures my attention because his confidence comes from having faith in Jesus Christ. Let’s examine how... Read more
