Merry Christmas Friday, Dec 22 2006 

This is Jordon and I am writing here because Gloria’s old weblog got lost and is in limbo because of the transition of the old Blogger to the new one. The plan is to recover her old posts and import them into this new location.

“The arms of the Father are open wide and all are welcome to come in” Thursday, Dec 7 2006 

As I have met with different people this week, I again realize that life isn’t always easy and people experience so much hurt and pain in their lives…but what is always so amazing and is so encouraging is how even in the pain and hurt of these experiences they have experienced the all consuming and sustaining love of our all loving Heavenly Father.

Christmas Decorating Monday, Dec 4 2006 

We are now back at home in the cold. Am in the process of doing some Christmas decorating. For those of you who know me well…this is always a stressful time for me. I did manage to get some of it with the help of Jerry and Kristy. Will have to continue in the coming days as did not get everything done. I am simplifying this year! It is getting simplier every year!

Our vacation is over and it was amazing! It is always hard to get back into the stream of things when you get back…am back at work tomorrow and lots of stuff to do the next couple of weeks. Life always seems so simple when on vacation and the reality of life hits you in the face when you return!
