Christmastime 2006
December, 2006
Christmas greetings! By reading this note you can see that we are still alive and well, at least up to the date of the page being posted. Our house is standing. We are gainfully occupied. We are grateful for God's blessings upon us, and hope that the blessings of your lives are apparent to you. After all, the peace and joy people wish to each other at the Christmas season must grow from a sense of gratitude that stands against our many fears and anxieties.
