SNOW and CHRISTMAS!!!

Well everyone, I don't know about where you are, but those of us in the Midwestern U.S. just got A BUNCH of snow this past week! That makes me extremely happy, let me tell you. Mind you, most of it is melted away now, but I made sure to go outside and photograph the house after it happened, as well as the rest of the street.

On top of the snow, CHRISTMAS is coming! Therefore we've got the inside of our house all decked out for it, and this is our living room. Just so you know, we did have the fireplace turned on for the picture that shows it. The fire just wouldn't show up in the picture.

In addition to getting the Christmas decorations up, the church Christmas pageant was this weekend, and this year it was a type of musical/cantata called Wondrous Gift. It was really good, and really did a great job at focusing on the reason for Christmas: Jesus! Praise God for this wonderful gift of salvation that He brings this Christmas!
