Well, we sort of pulled an eat and run at my parents’ house. We arrived last night and spent the night and were planning to stay until mid to late afternoon today, but our stay was cut short. At about 5 a.m., I got a cell phone call. I checked it and noticed it was from …

Give Thanks
I have a fitting song stuck in my head this Thanksgiving weekend: Give thanks with a grateful heart Give thanks to the Holy One Give thanks because He’s given Jesus Christ, His Son And now let the weak say, “I am strong” Let the poor say, “I am rich” “Because of what the Lord has …
Mike’s Getting Married!

Stinker by Santa
