One of my favorite Christmas traditions that I’ve passed down to the boys is watching the Charlie Brown Christmas special. In it, Charlie searches to find the true meaning of Christmas. He tries all sorts of things: being counseled by Lucy, directing the annual Christmas play and nothing seems to help. When he returns to play rehearsal with a less than adequate tree, he’s filled with frustration, and yells, “Isn’t there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?!” Linus, says, “Sure Charlie Brown, I can tell you what Christmas is all about.” And he begins to quote the Christmas story from Gospel according to Luke. "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, 'Fear not: for behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.' And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host,</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” Linus then walks back to Charlie and says, “That’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.”</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
That is what Christmas is all about. So often our society tries to tell us that Christmas is about getting more, about responding to the commercialism and materialism. But Christmas is all about that baby boy born so long ago. A baby that came in the most humble of settings</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
but one that changed the world forever.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
As the days and weeks unfold on our journey toward that holy day, may we remember and celebrate the real meaning of Christmas. May we, like Linus, share the story of what happened that night so long ago. And may we slow down and reflect upon what it really means to be filled with the joy and spirit of Christmas.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
May you and yours have a very blessed Advent season and a very Merry Christmas!</div>

Jesus assures his disciples and us that we will never be alone. God sent the Holy Spirit to comfort and guide us. It's good to know that God walks with us through everything, no matter what. How great it is to know that we are not in this alone, that God is with us along the way. Knowing this offers us comfort, it offers us hope and it helps us to endure hardships.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsjS0cGxqKL6IJJYtKDAiuuCHVBGPR493rlpj55TrfC0g6dj9agrWXnL5Cwd10ymkGtJso6_MmIEroSXYd4QhlveTSPiF7-kGyX7yhSKqUNj4UaVUH0d_b0ardzmedshU1la1x3Q/s1600/carrie.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 96px; height: 206px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsjS0cGxqKL6IJJYtKDAiuuCHVBGPR493rlpj55TrfC0g6dj9agrWXnL5Cwd10ymkGtJso6_MmIEroSXYd4QhlveTSPiF7-kGyX7yhSKqUNj4UaVUH0d_b0ardzmedshU1la1x3Q/s320/carrie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612351862944838130" border="0" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Last week we heard the sad news that my husband's cousin was missing. Carrie Zucker was last seen on Monday, May 23rd, 2011 in front of St. Lukes Lutheran Church, 401 Scammel Street in Marietta, OH. Her picture is above. She has dark blue eyes, very short brown hair, she's around 150 lbs, 5'5"-5'7" tall. When she was last seen she was wearing a dark brown v-neck shirt, black capris and sandals. If anyone has information on Carrie Zucker's whereabouts, please contact the following authorities: Marietta, OH Police Department: 740-376-2007 or Parkersburg, WV Sheriff Department: 304-485-8501.<br /><br />We would appreciate it you would pass along the word. We know she's somewhere out there...we just wish she'd come home!<br /><br />Pray that God will hold Carrie is God's strong loving arms, pray that she might return home or at least contact her friends or family to let them know she's ok. And pray that God's love and strength will wrap around all those who love Carrie.

He talked about following Jesus and then offered a blessing for our new addition that is getting closer to completion. It was a joy to have him join us for worship. During the children's time today, the woman leading it gave the children bubbles.

He climbed up on the coffee table and announced I've got my boots, I've got my glasses, Mommy, I have my pants, I have my ear, I have my other ear. I thought of the song I Want to Be a Cowboy.

It started out early for me at the Sunrise Service at Beech Fork Lake. Boy, was it COLD (around 32 degrees) but the setting was pretty and watching the sun come up over the lake was pretty cool. I saw about 6 - 8 deer on the way, which really woke me up at that early hour.<br /><br />Later in the morning it was time for our service. The sanctuary was decorated with fresh flowers and butterflies. The title of the sermon I did was He's Alive it was a first person portrayal of Mary Magdalene after she found the tomb empty and talked with Jesus.

I keep talking to them each day to encourage them to cocoon soon so they can hatch by Easter Sunday. It looks like a couple of them are complying with my request. There's all kids of this silky looking junk in their container...hoping that means cocooning soon and maybe hatching by next week.Carolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05898157679128728099noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13860179.post-10725552807065089832009-04-05T20:59:00.006-05:002009-04-05T21:20:22.544-05:00Catching Up<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuj8n690udbiBXvsII-ll8GXQyXOLeJbaYXu8ftSNMjy4IDPLMSPlZaOpbFX7vo2Sh_Fx5KupIZizdbULfMqefspW6j4DcLTPlxT_jezGY0QLmukNToUexfUbSNDrAteyNY8yYrw/s1600-h/IMG_0470.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 187px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuj8n690udbiBXvsII-ll8GXQyXOLeJbaYXu8ftSNMjy4IDPLMSPlZaOpbFX7vo2Sh_Fx5KupIZizdbULfMqefspW6j4DcLTPlxT_jezGY0QLmukNToUexfUbSNDrAteyNY8yYrw/s320/IMG_0470.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321393439978609954" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVallsOr-gC9H19czsKsOG32tozvhXNtEWACF6puLK6UKxxqESbePp5A-DESnJ7Y1LiBaqC9y2KQKBFdvuKVP08Ofdylv4xmUhG-Y5IyUDCJ-WIxs7iRTnaeEux5D65HLZ0QlJFw/s1600-h/IMG_0442.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 139px; height: 185px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVallsOr-gC9H19czsKsOG32tozvhXNtEWACF6puLK6UKxxqESbePp5A-DESnJ7Y1LiBaqC9y2KQKBFdvuKVP08Ofdylv4xmUhG-Y5IyUDCJ-WIxs7iRTnaeEux5D65HLZ0QlJFw/s320/IMG_0442.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321392782862369282" border="0" /></a>I am behind yet again posting my pics from this week.

It was quite the show.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />On Saturday, I had a BUSY day. It started out with giving blood at the Red Cross Blood Drive at our church. That experience went kinda weird, I started to feel quite dizzy and told the guy who had poked me and they got me fixed up eventually. After sitting for a while to feel better, I helped get things ready for the community dinner that our church was having. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQu_zw1RVGfH4iiXqsUdpgl9QLqzuUKtj0qVr1tOqM_dhqO3559YwZ0wxxj5mlzB2pUXsF26UuX4JI1QbXv0a8nfswcqe_OAGQWhsO9beswe32VFxbs5CEovdALXF8k9gd8efbdg/s1600-h/IMG_0463.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQu_zw1RVGfH4iiXqsUdpgl9QLqzuUKtj0qVr1tOqM_dhqO3559YwZ0wxxj5mlzB2pUXsF26UuX4JI1QbXv0a8nfswcqe_OAGQWhsO9beswe32VFxbs5CEovdALXF8k9gd8efbdg/s320/IMG_0463.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318793043682937826" border="0" /></a> This dinner is held each year and is offered free to anyone wishing to come.

I knew that guy hurt me when he took my blood. This is why I didn't want to give blood when I was in college. It'll get better but right now it hurts.
