I can’t believe Christmas is almost here. I have scaled back my decorating this year because we are having a party here tonight. I have tables where tables probably shouldn’t go, but need the room.

Rebekah King asked me to post our Christmas card. I thought I would post the pic (thanks Millie Holloman Photography) I used so it would be easier to see. I just got the stamps today, so these won’t arrive before Christmas.

I have a few more holiday traditions to complete:
making gingerbread men (doing this Tuesday)
Riding with Santa while singing Christmas carols (maybe Sunday or Monday night)

Since we have cut back this year in our gift giving, I have less presents to wrap. The underneath of the tree looks kind of lonely. Only a few more presents to wrap though.

p>The weekend was very busy with Christmas shopping, parties and taking care of a sick husband. When Sunday morning came, I was extremely tired. The boys and I arrived at church and as they do every Sunday they helped me finish the set up.

I put on a CD of Christmas music and when the kids came in, I was energized by their hugs. With a froggy voice, I led them in worship to our King.

This month I have been leading “Hit the Slopes” from Life Church.tv. It is a different format, but I love it. I think I have the format down and I am working on next years curriculum with a vengeous.

Last night, Noah our son had a party at the Skate Barn. He is an amazing 11 year old. I love him very much and I am proud of him. He is smart, loving, caring and a good friend. Noah understands how to live out 1 Corinthians 13.

What a great end to a wonderful day!
