And So This Is Christmas…

Some thoughts from the last 24 (amazing) hours:

We enjoyed the first Christmas Eve together as a family in 17 years! There wasn’t the usual Heather-and-the-kids-eat supper-without-Dad-because-he’s-at-the-church-making-sure everything’s-ready-for-the Christmas Eve Service… We ate home-made Chinese food together, opened some presents, (assembled the first of three Bionicles More on that later), and went to bed to [...]

So, we’ve locked up #2 seed through the NFC playoffs, and with some help, we’ll be playing the Pats in the Super Bowl. Maybe Jessica Simpson will be at the next Cowboys’ game, and the first game of [...]

Day #2 Post-Pastoring

Sorry this is going to be a SHORT post.  Today I cleaned out my old office, went to the dentist, forgot I had lunch planned with a friend, played taxi, attended the kids’ piano recital…and haven’t had much time to write.
Tomorrow, I promise.  It’s time to catch up, but until then, I need to mention [...]
