With all our children and two grandchildren now living in the States, and without even any pets in our home, we are definitely feeling the Empty Nest. But it's not all bad! We are SO thankful for today's technology, that allows us to keep up with friends and family! And we're still finding time to spend together, although we're both quite busy in many forms of service -- in church, seminary, presbytery, counseling center, publishing house, etc.

We're looking forward to the Christmas season, when our youngest son Lex (age 21) will be home for his holiday break from Belhaven University. May the Lord make your season and ours bright -- not only in the common joys of festive celebration, but in the unchanging Joy of the Eternal One who revealed eternal Grace in the manger of Bethlehem. Our sins are removed for FREE! Hallelujah!
