Lisa, the girls, and I want to wish each of you a Merry Christmas!  We pray that you will have an awesome day celebrating Him! 

I hesitate to share this on Christmas Day but it is what it is.  As the Bush family was leaving the graveside yesterday afternoon, Phyllis Bush’s father-in-law walked to his truck and then had an apparent heart attack and passed away.  I talked to Katrina via the phone last night to verify the story as I had already left the graveside before this took place.  So, pray for the Bush family in a special way today! 

I really enjoy our Christmas Eve service and last night’s was no exception.  It was great to see Clint Landry & family, Pastor Travis Northcut & family, Gene & Gena Davis, and a host of other guests. 

It is good to have children who have reached the age that Christmas gifts can be given on Christmas Eve which allows the parents to sleep in on Christmas morning. 

We will have breakfast together as a family this morning and then begin making ready to leave tomorrow.  We will travel to Hartselle to celebrate with my extended family on Saturday before turning northward and bound for Michigan.  I will be preaching in the Friendship Christian Reformed Church on Sunday night.  Pray for us as we travel and then as I preach Sunday night.

I pray that you will have a great Christmas Day with Jesus! 

P.S. – Louise Mason, please check your e-mail today.  Thanks!
