Hello,

Sorry for the late update. Christmas went well if busy. My first Christmas as stepfather and Grandfather. We spent time together as a family and it was fun.

Shepherds are an important part of Christmas. They are also used throughout the Bible. So let’s do a week on Shepherds.

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