Recent Happenings

I hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving. We traveled to Glenwood on Wednesday to visit family and enjoy some good cooking. Of course, Shawn got some quality hunting time in as well. On Friday afternoon we traveled to Fairfield Bay to my brother's lake home for our family Thanksgiving. It was a very relaxing time. No schedule...just whatever...whenever. My older brother and his family didn't get to join us this year and we really missed their company. Busy schedules sometimes keeps us from getting together as often as we'd like. Hopefully we'll have everyone together for Christmas!

Overall, our Thanksgiving weekend was a great time. There was plenty of time to reflect on all that I'm thankful for. We often take for granted the little things in life. I'm especially thankful for Jesus Christ, family, and good health.

Thanksgiving is the start to a busy time of year. The Christmas season is upon us. A lot of goings on this time of year. We've got to decorate, finish shopping, attend work parties, school parties, church parties, musicals, and whatever else might be thrown our way. In the hustle and bustle, let us not forget the real "Reason For the Season"...the birth of Jesus Christ.
