CHRISTMAS 2009

We are at my mom and dad's today for Christmas, something we haven't done for many years. There's a lingering rain/icy dampness here. Will and I went to the only open store this morning, which is the gas station off of I-65-we were looking for ice cream, egg nog, and a white elephant gift. No egg nog, but got the other items. On the way we saw a flock of wild turkey-just wish I had my gun and a permit. Something I hope to do each year from now on is to revisit the book, The Jesus I Never Knew by Philip Yancey. He has a great chapter on the birth of Christ, and helps put things into perspective on this day, and reminds me, what God, through Jesus, has done for me and the world.
