First blog!!

Well, I am new to this, so bear with me a little bit for the first several posts - I'll get the hang of it. So, here we go...
Aren't the holidays great?? I love Thanksgiving, then we get into the full swing of Christmas and all that entails. Then, of course, we get to start a new year. I am looking forward to Christmas this year moree than I can ever remember looking forward to it in the past. I am listening to ridiculous amounts of Christmas music, and I was even the one that got ou the decorations for the house this year. Maybe this year I am a little more aware of the gift that Jesus Christ was to us. What an awesome thing we were given when He came to earth - ultimately to die. Maybe I am just looking forward to the time I get off of work during that time - 7 working days, and 11 straight days total-YIPPEE!!! I also like starting a new year. This year hasn't been much fun for me, and even less for my wife. So, I think we are both looking forward to better times in 2008.
Another thing that the holiday season means around here is Winterrific. Because the weather around here is so cold and snowy during the winter, our church - Father's House - started a new thing last winter. We call it Winterrific (get it: Winter + Terrific). We really get things ramped up to shove off the 'winter blahs'. We hang out a ton, playing games, eating, Bible studies, and much more - this year we are even having a country hoe-down (country is the theme this year). It is a great way to get new people in the doors, while having some indoor fun at the same time.
Well, I think that will do for my first post. Catcha later.
