Merry Christmas 2013 & Happy New Year 2014...

Dear Family and Friends,                                     December 2013

...The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.

                                                            Isaiah 7: 14b

She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,

because he will save his people from their sins.

Matthew 1: 21

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son that

whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 3: 16

We join the angels who praised God when they announced the birth of Jesus to the shepherds.  It was good news then and it is still good news today – for those who have faith and believe.  It is the greatest gift ever given and God offers it to everyone.  Christ came to earth to atone for sin – love truly amazing.

New tie from the sons...

February 8^th found us celebrating John’s 70^th birthday with our annual trip to Richmond, VA.  There we had the privilege of being with our son John’s family while he and Diane participated with other Chick-fil-a operators at their annual seminar.  We shuttled for school, games, activities and kept everybody fed.   We had a terrific time.(ages in Feb.)
