It is time to put away Christmas, or is it?

By Nancy -
Does anyone else get the post-Christmas blues?  Taking down Christmas is a miserable job that is not only depressing, but also very time consuming.  Why is it that the three days of decorating before Christmas fly by, yet the three days of un-decorating drag on like a dentist appointment?

I guess what we have to remember is that Christmas is alive in us all year long.  We don't need a tree to remind us of the beautiful gift our God gave us through His son, Jesus.  May you continue to bless the people you see with a Christmas smile and greeting (Hello will suffice).  Celebrate Jesus all year long by living the way He modeled for us, becoming servants for each other, praying for others, and being a good family member or friend.

May God bless you all with a continuing spirit of Christmas that brightens your smile and lightens your step!  Nancy

haha! It's funny cuz my tree is still up & it's on my 'TO DO' list today. I have got to get it all put away :) Its hard cuz your house is so lit up and when you take it all down the house just feels so 'empty'. But it's time. Best of luck.

Please Help!

Hello Friends!  As most of you know, I have felt called to assist Christian artist Jason Dunn.  Jason made such a huge impact on my Hannah through his music and positive outlook at a time when she was emotionally and spiritually lost.  God used Jason to answer a very special prayer I had sent to him regarding Hannah. In the time since Jason and I started working together, a lot has happened.  We founded a charity for children and young adults with diabetes called the Jason Dunn Diabetes Foundation ( www.jasondunnfoundation.com ); we put together an 8 state tour to support this foundation; and now, we have launched a campaign through a website called Faith Launcher ( www.faithlauncher.com ) to help pay off the debt from Jason's new album, Abandon Progress, but also, hopefully, to raise money for our foundation. I would like to ask you to consider helping Jason and me by supporting his Faith Launcher Campaign.  You can do this by going to www.faithlauncher.com...

Pain is under control

I was very concerned last night when the pain returned with a vengeance, I almost had to return to the ER, but I was able to talk to my brother-in-law and he suggested I take a second pain pill and that made the difference. I have made sure to be on top of the pain and not let it get so bad again. Hannah stayed home again today, but I am hoping that she will be able to return to school tomorrow. This is a nasty bug! I couldn't let Scott have all of the St. Patty's day fun. What do you think, do curls suite me? Love to you all! Nancy
