Movie of our Christmas 09.  OK, so there are bunch of shots of the grandkids…..what do you expect?

Making Swedish meatballs is a Christmas tradition.

We had a progressive Christmas Party last night with the folks in the neighborhood.  Lots of fun, fellowship, food and drinks!

What a great day for us to praise God for the 1 millionth child being sponsored through Compassion International.  What a great day to celebrate what God is doing around the world to “release children from poverty in Jesus name”.  In fact, our neighbor, Mark Hanlon was on Fox and Friends today to make this announcement.

He addresses the fact that secular media marketing groups have recommended taking the name “Christian” or “Jesus” out of everything having to do with the organization.  And that this would increase donations.  Well, Compassion is unashamed of our Christian roots, and will, in fact, make Jesus name even more prominent.  Which shows why they are such a great organization.

This is the official announcement from Compassion…………..
It is my great privilege to introduce you to Fellow Blewussi Kpodo, our one millionth sponsored child! Fellow is eight years old and he lives in Togo with his father, two older sisters, and one younger brother. And he now has a very bright future!

And who better to stand alongside this precious little one than the world’s strongest woman?! Fellow’s sponsor is Jang Mi-Ran, a long-time Compassion supporter and Olympic gold medalist weight lifter from Korea. So, the strongest woman in the world is now sponsoring one of the most vulnerable children in the world

We took a day off and drove to Cripple Creek to the Ice Festival.  Our neighbor was also playing in a band at a casino, so we hung out with Cindee and watched Phil play.

This video is very convicting.  What we can do with a fraction of the money we spend on Christmas.

Me an pooch dropped the pickup off across town and ran home.  Sorry about the jiggling, but I WAS running.
