- Felt the Canadian love this morning...all 12 or so degrees of it. Deliciously ironic is bright sunshine and blue skies coupled wtih HARRRRSH cold. Was part of the Frozen Chosen at church today!
- I am excited that Christmas week is finally upon us. My last two Christmas packages will be arriving tomorrow and I will head over to the mall to have a charitable organization's gift wrapper wrap everything up nicely.
- good deed of the Christmas season: my singles group at church adopted this family for Christmas. Their finances are better directed elsewhere this Christmas so we chipped in and bought their kids' Christmas presents. We all delivered the gifts and ate lunch with the family today after church. It really warmed this blogger's heart.
- sorry, but Chili, I just couldn't walk you today, it was just too cold. I feared you'd turn into a Chili-sicle and that just wouldn't be cool.
- What was Joe Biden's price to be Obama's veep? A seat at the table, according to JB. gotta love an honest man.
- had a nice time babysitting niece Lydia on Friday night. I was shocked to discover that she's gone bi-ped on us! She's toddling around with (mostly) the greatest of ease. Bedtime was a bit stressful for the both of us...she didn't go to sleep as easily as I was promised she would. Eventually she got tired out and went down. I did get to brush her few teeth with a little slip-on finger brush...
- Chili and I jogged down to Festus last night for a first look at the parents' new kitchen. It looks fantastic and will be ready for Christmas Day dinner, I am happy to report. All appliances are installed and in good working order. A few loose ends will be tied up in the next few days. I munched on chocolate chip cookies while I was there and was sent home with some pot roast and vegetables. I'd say it was a fruitful trip.
- Got a preview of my church's Christmas Eve services today in our worship service. We're not going to just be about candlelight and carols....it's all about being real about reaching people...skeptical? inquiring? already convinced? wherever you are, you're welcome and safe at my church.
