Holiday-time eats routine for breakfast... When we are out of routine, one of the first things to go is usually our quiet time. Here are a few quick tips to help us not to put our relationship with Jesus on holiday as well :-)

Following her brother's death, Martha is struggling with some "what if" questions. What if Jesus had come sooner? What if He had been there?

John 11:17-27
