Hello,

I hope all of you had a good holiday. The Christmas concert went well. Christmas was as good as I could hope for this year. Work on the house continues as well it’s starting to get a bit better. It’s the end of another year and we will be starting some different things for the blog next year.

We talked about angels last week this week we are going to talk about Shepherds. Shepherds like Angels are mentioned throughout the Bible. Since it’s Christmas why not a week about them as well as angels.

Thanks for the comments and questions. I always enjoy them because it means people are reading.
