Read it again...it says frozen farm...not funny farm!!!!
We made it thru these past rounds of freezing rain...only lost our electricity three times over the past weekend, but we've been good ever since 2:30 Saturday afternoon. We did get to see Amy Grant and Vince Gill at the U.S. Cellular Center in Bloomington on 12/20. It was a "warm and quiet" concert. Many Christmas songs, they talked, more songs, and we all sang Christmas carols together at the end. (My only complaint is the seats there...not very comfortable at all.)
And, if there is a little room on your prayer lists, please add a couple of requests. My brother Dan (who lives in Colorado) lost his job after 25 years. But at least he got 8 months of severance pay while he tries to decide what to do next. To add to the situation, his wife, Lisa, just lost her stepdad in Texas on Saturday, and Matthew (Dan & Lisa's oldest son) is having a bad bout with gall stones. They could all use a few more people lifting them up in prayer right now.
Celebration news!...my twin nieces Sarah & Amanda graduated (last Saturday) from Western Illinois University; both graduated with their Bachelor Degree in "Studio Art and Music Business". They had their own art show on December 16th at Macomb; didn't get to go because of the weather; hope to see pictures on Christmas Day.
We're anxious to celebrate Christmas with three grandchildren! The presents are wrapped and under the tree, food is being prepared to share with family, and just enjoying the tree as it sparkles with all the lights. Remember the reason for the season...the Christ child came for you and for me. Happy Birthday Jesus!!
