Christmas


We are experiencing a winter wonderland today. The ground is white and the thermometer is at a cold, cold ZERO. At the moment we are sitting in a warm house, listening to Dr. Jeremiah, petting Jake and enjoying Dan's company.

I am not looking forward to the trip back to Lame Deer but the roads shouldn't be too bad, I hope.

Dr. Jeremiah is speaking on "Why There Must Be Christmas." http://www.davidjeremiah.org/site/television.aspx

My Christmas tree is up. A few years ago, I bought all blue lights, ornaments and matching tinsel. The tree looks nice and brings back memories of childhood trees. The fiber optic angel is a little heavy for the top of the tree, but it goes well with the rest of the tree. Jake enjoys sleeping under the tree.

On Friday, I was walking back to school after lunch. My right foot tripped on a stone, my left foot got locked in with my right foot and I started heading face down on the ground. Thankfully, my hands were free after throwing my water bottle. My hands hit the ground and slid forward. I pulled rocks out of my hand and doctored the holes. Almost 48 hours later, my hands are still very sore and my body feels like it hit solid ground. Not quite as bad as was hitting a truck! I still remember how that feels.

As I looked at my hands last night, Chip and I talked about how much pain Jesus had when the nails were put in his hands. Putting Him on the cross happened after he was beaten beyond recognition. To think that Jesus suffered for me so that my sins could be forgiven.

Chip has been busy working cows and shipping what needs to go to the salebarn.

The weather shows that winter is here. Not sure that I am ready for it, but we will make it through.
