The last few weeks have been really busy for us. First of all, I DIDN'T have to do the jury duty thingy, which was a good thing. Usually I don't mind. In fact, I find it all kind of interesting. But the timing just wasn't good this time!
We have had quite a few activities at church...get-togethers and we went Christmas caroling one night. That was fun. We had church services as usual on Christmas Eve. A group of us from church went to see the movie The Nativity Story. The kids had to be accompanied by a parent, just in case there was some kind of doctrinal error that needed to be talked about. There wasn't. The only things that stood out for me were the usual: the 3 wise men (we don't know how many wise men there actually were, the Bible doesn't say), and their visit to the baby Jesus in the stable laying in the manger (Jesus is actually referred to as a "child" in the Bible and the wise men visited him in a house.)
It was a beautifully made story that brought to life how Mary and Joseph must have felt with what they experienced, and how God spoke to them and how He worked in their lives. And the gift He was giving to ALL of us, the gift of his son Jesus.
Mom is still down. She will be going to church with us tonight, then we will be taking her over to my niece's house after church because we will be leaving early tomorrow morning to go up to Hartselle for a night, and then on to Anniston for a night. Then back home on Saturday because John doesn't have another Sunday he can take off this year. So it'll be a quick trip.
Oh yeah...we will be going up to Burlington on January 12th so John can try out for the job. Please pray that everything will work out and we will be able to move up there! I'm sure the weather will will quite different than what we have been experiencing here in Florida. But I can't wait to go!!! It's going to be an exciting year next year!!!
