Holiday Pictures

So we are almost done our three week holiday here in BC. First we visited the family we have on the coast and now we are with my parents in the mountains, where they live. It has been very good and we have had a lot of fun. We'll see some of you soon.
Here are a few pictures ....

The Nativity

I watched The Nativity and it is a very good movie. One thing I loved about it was how real it made Mary and Joseph, the movie shows the emotions you don't read about in the gospels, yet they where real people with real problems so they did experience all the emotions. Watching this movie has helped bring some focus back on Jesus, who of course gives meaning to this season..... speaking of bringing Jesus back to his celebration I am also trying to memorize the Christmas story (40 verses from Luke). I hope by Christmas morning I have it done so well that I can tell the story like they did in the "good ol' days" before the printing press..... only 22 days to go, I better get memorizing...... I think Jesus can so easily be lost in these festivities, these traditions we have, I challenge you to find ways to bring Jesus back to his party. I'd love to hear what you do.
