I just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!  I hope everyone has a great day, and I hope we can all look past the presents and the decorations and the commercialism for a little while today to remember what this day is truly about.  And if you need reminded about the true meaning of Christmas, read Luke chapter 2.

"Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord." 

I've been asked for a recent picture of the youngster, so here's one from tonight.  I'm not lookin' so hot, but that can be expected after working and taking care of a kid, captured for eternity on a cell phone camera!

Hey folks.  Just wanted to drop by and leave a quick note that I'm on hiatus from the site for a little while.  I've got some soul searching to do right now, and I'm just having some trouble putting together something coherent enough to write about.  With it being the holiday season, it's a little tougher than I had expected.  It's been lonely, but in a way it's good for me too.  James 1:3 nails it: "… because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance."  It is only through our struggles that we can most clearly see our blessings.

Bear with me and, if you are so incline, send a little prayer this way.
