My Journey Toward A Trusting Heart

Yes, I'm still here...

I have been crazy busy, and I don't think I'm doing any of it 'well.' TRYING to, yes, but I don't think its working.

This will be short, but I did want to at least surface and say that its a beautiful winter here in Chicago...our family is warm and content and we are basking in the goodness of God.

I'll post the Christmas letter I'm mailing out -- it'll either be emailed, or snail mailed. If I don't have an address for you, then hopefully you'll read this and get caught up on all the excitement!

If I don't get back here before Christmas Day, please know how valued each of you are...to me, if I know you, and certainly by those who DO know you. We are each important to someone, and we matter very much to God. His birth was for all of us, regardless of our 'station' in life and He has so much to offer.

I pray each of us will reflect on His glory and His mercies this Season, and keep in mind His gift to us -- Himself. As we celebrate His first coming, let's be humble enough to admit our faults and accept His grace. He is lavish with that -- I ought to know. I draw on that every single day...

Also, you will find a post with something I received from a friend the other day. Its a poignant reminder of all that's important to those of us who know Christ personally.

Merry Christmas!
