I seem to be stuck. Not your usual opening Christmas greeting statement! I am in between computers, trying to mesh both mail systems, and get my address book complete to the new mail system (in Vista, does that explain anything?). So, our Christmas email newsletter sits in queue, waiting for someone to fix something…I apologize to those of you who think we have dropped off the face of our beautiful planet Earth. Nope. Still here. Just stalled.

So, in liu of being able to get that email out, we wish each of you a very Merry (late, but heart felt) Christmas and a truly blessed, wonderful, spirit filled Happy New Year! May our Lord reign and rain down on you with seasons of spiritual growth, deepening, compassion, trust, and love.

From our snow covered sage to your landscape of love

Leaving the Church

It’s official. Chelsie and Collin are now married. She was a beautiful bride, the groom was handsome, and the dad (AND -aka- officiator of the ceremony) only cried just a bit. A full church enjoyed the ceremony and dessert reception which followed. It was so nice to see family and friends come together for the happy occasion – even if I didn’t get to visit with them (or even complete one entire thought!). It’s pretty weird that Chelsie is not Quantrell anymore…The mess is cleaned up (we did that part very very well), the presents unwrapped and put to use, the flowers are drying, the cool cake is gone, and Peeps and Collin have begun their new life together.

Congratulations, you 2 of our hearts. Forever keep our Lord Jesus at the center of your marriage and relationship. May He bless you for many years, and as your dad said, FOREVER, FOR ALWAYS, NEVER TO PART as long as you live. 🙂
