Merry Christmas from our family to yours! It was a wonderful Advent Season, topped off by Christmas Eve Services last night at Woodland. It is one of my favorite services of the year.

She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’).” Isaiah 7:14 I’m overwhelmed with the thought of God’s love for us this morning! My thoughts go all the way back to…Read more God With Us!
