Well . .. Zach had a birthday . . . my oldest son is now 7, how time flies . . . The christmas tree is up . .. We have a place to move to . . . no moving date yet, but definitely before the 2nd of January. We have been doing some school, since it has been very eratic in the past month or so. Zach is learning Jingle bells on his violin. We had a great time in Michigan where the boys enjoyed their first snow on the 1st of December Dad had a great time in Tortola (British Virgin Island) We've made cookies, and Pate de noel and a gingerbread house. The boys got to sing with the other kids in the homeschool group at 2 seniors' home We've started some packing . . . We've been doing devotions leading up to the birth of Christ using a format taken from Disciplines of a Godly Family. That's about it .  . . oh, except for the nice farewell luncheon our current church hosted for us yesterday:

A Covenant of grace (Severeign Grace Music) The wonder of Your mercy Lord The beauty of Your grace That You would even pardon me And bring me to this place I stand before Your holiness I can only stand amazed The sinless Savior died to make A covenant of grace I only want to serve you Bring honor to Your name Though often I have failed You Your faithfulness remains I'll glory in my weakness That I might know Your strength I will live my life at the Cross of Christ And raise a banner to proclaim You welcome us before You Into this holy place The brilliance of Your glory Demands our endless praise The One the only Savior Has opened heaven's doors We can enter in free from all our sin By Your cleansing sacrifice
