“Merry Christ…mas”!
December 23, 2009 
I hope for each one of you a very exciting time of the year! It’s a great time for families and friends and a great time to renew our faith and love of the one who came to save us from ourselves. Have fun, but don’t forget to be thankful for the one who makes your life possible!
I had a great time with my family last weekend. But like many grandparents and parents I have to share my kids and grandkids so this is the year my kids spend Christmas day with their “inlaws”, and that’s ok.
In a few hours I am heading north(weather permitting) to spend time with a dear friend who has a tremendous ministry in Chicago. Her group gives out Christmas presents on Christmas Eve to new mothers in the hospitals who have given birth to babies. I am very excited about being able to be part of this great ministry.
Christmas morning we will visit a homeless Shelter and then spend some time catching up and laughing and sharing what has been happening in our lives in the past year. It will be a great time!
I wish for each one of you a great Christmas holiday and Happy New Year! 2010 is going to be a great year! See you next year!
glad you had a great time with your family. can’t wait to hear about your trip…be safe!!!
Are you talking about my trip to Chicago or my trip Saturday to Nashville for the Children’s Pastor’s Conference? Anyway, my trip to Chicago was an absolutely wonderful experience. As I prepare to leave for Nashville to the Conference if you want me to look for something particularly for the Toddlers let me know. Email me if you think of something while I am gone because I will have my handy dandy blackberry to pick up messages.
