This morning, K and I went to Clarkston International Bible Church.

Helps to get into the Christmas spirit.

Pastor Phil talked about the Virgin Birth. I’ve never had a problem with that or any of the miracles. We serve a SUPERnatural God!

K and I went to Pho Truc for lunch. Dig me some Vietnamese. Saw some other church friends of ours there.

We liked this sign in Burmese.

Back to admin work. Cold outside! 30s.

This has always been one of my favorite stained glass windows. It’s at CIBC.

Somehow this little baby embodied Christmas for me this morning.

Ash and I raked leaves on Friday.

They were super heavy because they were still wet.

As my Daddy would say, “Ash worked like a Turk.”

We moved most of them to where I park my car.

I drive over them to compress them. Makes for good soil.

It flat wore me out. Even got a blister on my thumb. Boo hoo.

This afternoon K and I and Ashley went to the zoo!

Always fun to see the animals, although many were inside because of the cold weather.

I saw these Macaws in Costa Rica!

My girls were little birds!

They were having fun!

I think the naked mole rats were the most interesting, but I find them kind of gross so I didn’t take a picture.

K and I went to David and Beverly Clyde’s house this evening. They also invited David and Ruth Sullivan as well as friends of theirs from their small group Bible Study. Allen and Kathy “adopted” us as one of their missionaries. Good to meet them!

Back home now doing admin duties. My computer has started to run really slowly. It’ll be ok and then just suddenly sit there and I just wait and wait and wait. And you might know how good I am at waiting.

This speed limit sign just seems funny to me.

I can’t even jog here the speed’s so slow.

Have a Zoo Atlanta Christmas!

I think he needs a sticker that says Doesn’t Know When To Quit.
