Okay, I'm into slowdown mode. It's December 23rd, the presents are bought (most are wrapped), it's cold outside, and time to quit working. It's a time for Christmas movies, football, lots of food, family and friends...and above all, it's time to celebrate Jesus. We love watching the nativity section of the old mini-series, "Jesus of Nazareth". Of course, a good Christmas Eve service is essential.
When you travel in ministry like we do, there is something intensely spiritual about staying home. Kim and I are looking forward to this next week of enjoying family, friends, home, and Jesus.
