Christmas Eve

While they were there,

the time came for the baby to be born,

 and she gave birth to her firstborn,

a son.

She wrapped him in cloths

and placed him in a manger,

because there was no room

for them in the inn.

Luke 2:6-7

I AM THANKFUL TO EACH OF YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED PRAYERS FOR MY HEALING BOTH PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL. HOLIDAYS ARE EXTREMELY ROUGH!!! RIGHT NOW EVERYDAY IS ROUGH. GOD IS BETTER TO ME THAN I DESERVE!!! HE PROVIDES FOR ME BEFORE I EVEN KNOW I HAVE THE NEED!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS. LOVE YOU ALL. GOD BLESS.

Angie Nielson’s dad passed away.  Please pray for the Edmonson family.

David got a good report from his PET scan yesterday.  As a precautionary measure, he will have a bronchoscopy after the holidays.  That procedure can be the focus of your prayers for him for now.
