Hello,

Another Sunday of church via Facebook today. I did not sleep well and more snow meant take it easy. My heart procedure was supposed to be Friday but the hospital refused to do it. So one again my step-son and grandson came over to shovel us out.

We are still in Advent and this week let’s look at Bethlehem. The city of Jesus birth. This was a city that was mentioned in the Bible many times.
