December 23rd

Well Melissa is at Heathrow heading to Belfast in about 4 hours. I am headed to PA in a couple hours to get Colleen's Mom and bring her here for Christmas. I hope we hear from Jay and Julie. Haven't heard much since Sept. 29th, sigh!

For those of you that have a heaviness in your heart I am praying that you will be encouraged and you will be blessed with moments of happiness and joy.

I hope and trust that all who read this will remember that we celebrate this time of year due to the birth of Jesus. The excitement of a new life and the capacities of God's love for us are astonishing. Please revel in the wonder and amazement of the season, but also remember years later Jesus suffered and died on the cross because He loved us. The joy of a new birth is complemented by the joy of a love so great that He willingly accepted our punishment and died in our place.

Merry Christmas everyone.
