Santa is coming...

Too bad we are basically looking up his nose. LOL! This old Santa has been around since before I came along. It belonged to my Grandpa Glazier (my mom's Dad) and I still get to see him every year. I am sure that he is now an antique...but so are we, huh!? Isn't it amazing how we turn into little children at Christmas time, though? Be sure and put the cookies and milk out... Santa is coming!

We are so excited to have a few days off with family. This year has brought a lot of changes to our schedule and so it will be nice to slow down for a few days. No school, no entering data for Karla, and no training or marketing for Gene. No church to prepare for! I know that sounds awful, but it all gets overwhelming sometimes and it feels good just to stop. Has anybody else ever feel this way? Dad and Mom came in yesterday and we are enjoying the company.

We had great church today and we spent part of the day shopping and then enjoying a leisurely dinner tonight. God has been so good to us! Things are not always perfect, but He is. We are pleased to report that our prison ministry had 11 people filled with the Holy Ghost last weekend— 7 in Lockhart and 4 in Bryan! It is exciting to see. We will also be starting the Spirit of Freedom, "Christian Intervention Program" in January. Bro. Howard Pastorella will be coming on January 30th for a Introductory Service. It is a way to basically teach the plan of salvation and God's overcoming power to those who are on probation or battling addictions. There is a huge population of those who need this kind of training. Why not let the teaching be about the Acts 2 experience? It really changes a life!

We want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas!
Have a great time with your family...they are a gift from God.
