Happy New Year!

Our hopes and wishes for a Very Happy New Year to you all!

Merry Christmas

Hope has come into the world neither in the form of a political figure nor economic upturn but through a Savior, Christ the Lord, the Prince of Peace whose birth we celebrate this season. He does not push himself into our lives but gently knocks at our door waiting for us to open it and invite Him into our hearts. It is only He who will calm the seas of our life. A peaceful and joyous Christmas to you all.

Touch and Go

Sorry for the short blogs. Last week Neil's mom was in and out of the emergency room and hospital with kidney failure. We cancelled the first part of our trip to Florida and a day later when she recovered we booked shuttles, airlines, hotels again. Several had been praying for wisdom for us and healing for his mother. God answered, giving us peace to leave on Friday rather than Thursday and tomorrow morning to fly to Jamaica touch down for several hours and go to Barbados for a long awaited trip.
I keep thinking that I will have time to post pictures and video but too much else going on. I will catch up with it all one of these days.
