Nothing Fancy

Nothing Fancy on this post...kind of like the first Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Gifts Delivered

It is good to get back to the office to day and star wadding into the backlog of paper work on my desk.  Not a bad feeling though, as I finished delivering the gifts for the HIV/AIDS children yesterday.  I pray that they might experience a touch of the Spirit of Christ this Christmas.  Take a moment and say a prayer for them.

Until next time...Grace & Peace

Too Soon

I read the news today about a great loss for the United Methodist Church. I met Rev. Kathleen Baskin-Ball when she chaired the Ministry and Higher Education Committee at General Conference. Laura was elected a sub-committee chair under her.  She was really a gifted leader and will be missed.  Say a prayer for her family and especially her 4-year old son.

Until Next Time...Grace & Peace

Back in the Saddle

This week has really been one of recovering from the flu and then catching up on all the stuff piled up on the desk.  Fortunately it really only knocked me down two days with a temperature.  So sorry for the late blog.  Here is a list of some of the exciting things I should have blogged about this week.

1. HIV/AIDS DAY:  Here are a couple things to do (pray for those suffering, give to those hurting, hope for healing)
2. Deer Hunters:  They Believe in Jesus, But Their Religion is Hunting.
3. Black Friday Turned Out O.K:  But Giving is Down (Pittsburgh Theological Seminary Phon-A-Thon & Mission Share in the Western PA Conference)
4. Partying with the HIV/AIDS Support Group:  The Spirit of Christmas, Strengthens the Human Spirit.
5. The Indiana District Christmas Party:  Jazz, Joy, and the Art of Choosing Chicken or Ham

6. Funeral For a Friend:  Peggy Curry Howard

Well, I am running out the door for the funeral and next week I will be delivering HIV/AIDS gifts to children dealing with HIV/AIDS.  I may get to write these, but it doesn't look good.  I hope it might have generated a laugh or a good thought.  Have a blessed Advent.

Until next time...Grace & Peace
