Ah, Christmas break in Discoveryland. Preceeded directly by Keith almighty delivering the message and leading worship. I didn't photoshop his picture. I was just nicely positioned as the non-rolling clouds appeared behind him. A great job by all as we considered those shepherds and their role in the Christmas story. Yes, I am sure you all agree, Rachel White and Nathan Rychener are freaks when it comes to stage presence. They have it.

This coming Saturday I expect to see none of you as there is no DLand. Prepare by doing nothing in particular. Actually I might see some of you. The Lingenfelter family is currently living at church and will through Dec. 24th, so if you come, look for me. Even Pam is there. She arose yesterday. Very nice. If you see her just keep in mind, big squeezing hugs aren't the best.

I hope you all get to come to the Christmas program. It is sure to be great.

Last Saturday I snapped some pics during small group time. Kevin, Monica and Tim were all completely involved with their kids. How great is it for these kids to have you guys. I am humbled by your gifts and your willingness to serve. You ROC. If you missed Cal's excellent message last week, click here.

I am finding my role as caretaker is getting heavier. Last week was a tough week. I even ended up with my first cold in a long time, bad timing there, making everything seem harder to do. However, Pam is beginning to come around. Our kids are doing great. And this morning I was blowing pure blood into the tissue. That has to be good, because before I was blowing lots of other stuff, you know, infected looking stuff. Wooohooo, almost better. Take care. Drive safely. Wash your hands. Don't, I repeat don't, walk on icey sidewalks and steps with your hands in your pockets.
