I Love a Parade!

That's a show tune ( I think), but it's also true. The Christmas parade goes right by my parents' house, and we've planned an afterglow party there for the past several years. Each year seems to get a little bigger! It's a great combination of a few generations, some family, some friends, and it is a blessed time! This year we had a whopping 26 people there!

Of course waiting for the parade to come gets the kids a little anxious, so a snowball fight usually breaks out. This year, Steve (my husband/kid) started the whole thing. I don't know why that surprises anyone. I had my new camera in hand, so I was not a target at all. Of course, Glen and Doug will never turn down a good snowball fight. Did you know you shouldn't throw snowballs in the dark when in a crowd of people? That poor old lady....

Did you also know how cruel it is to throw candy into a snowbank right in front of little kids? Bah humbug to you too, buddy!

So, come watch with us next year. We'll squeeze you in!

Words Matter. Choose them carefully.

A Character that Reveals

  When you love your enemies,  you reveal what kind of God  our God is.  I was thinking today about how stubborn we are as people sometimes....
