My Dear Nephew Travis was in town today, preaching at West Side. Proud Uncle Steve and I went to hear him this morning.
I swear - - that young man has such a calling for this - - he is excellent at getting the Word into people's hearts!
He makes my heart swell with pride . . .
His fiance, Leah, was here also. She's such a sweetie - - I can't wait until this June so we can attend their wedding!

Party Time, Part Deux
WELL - - Jerry is finally going to be able to come over and see our new house!
Weather permitting, of course - - it was Springfield's turn to get smacked by an ice storm. Fortunately, we "dodged a bullet" this time!
SO - - we are having another holiday party! Jerry, Cindy, Curt and Judy, and Jan and Don will be here to help celebrate Jerry's late Christmas with the "Looneys". Should be fun - - I have put up signs on the fireplace telling Jerry "No pissing allowed" (he always threatens to "pee in the fire") (hey, I TRIED to tell you that we were "Looneys" - - you can't say I didn't warn you!). I have made lots of little "snack" for everyone to munch on. We have a "special" Christmas gift for Jerry, which means it is definitely not for mixed company (oh well!).
So it should be a good time!

Happy New Year!
Well, it's the start of a new year . . .
I hope 2006 was a good year for you, and 2007 will be good to you and yours also.
2006 was both good and bad for us - - we got the house of our dreams, but there have been plenty of "bumps" along the way.
Work has been a total bear. And I do mean TOTAL.
I lost an old, dear friend. It's been difficult. But you know, if you don't let friends in to your life and let them get close to you, life would be so empty. So even though it hurts when you lose them, having them close enriches your life so much. So, I'm willing to take that chance.
And I am lucky to have some very dear friends in my life. I cherish them so much.
Steve and I intend to make 2007 our best year yet. So stay tuned - - the ride is just beginning!
