Merry Christmas and a prayer request.

It has been a while since my last post! We all got a little flu-bug and we were sick the end of last week through the weekend. I am still catching up from it! It is amazing what a couple days of doing nothing will get you--NOTHING!!
Not a lot has been happening, just finishing up some last minute Christmas preparations and working. We did go see Santa one last time, but that was a pointless visit. All well, I am sure Emma will dig Santa sooner or later. Be sure to check the picture out at the end of the post.

Please pray for a man named Carl. He used to be my Pastor, but left to pastor in Idaho in July. He is married and has two kids. I love this family so much and they have been through so many obstacles. Carl had leukemia and had a successful bone marrow transplant September 2005. Since then, Carl has been in and out of the hospital with infections and other ailments. He has been on his deathbed at least three times(that I can remember). God has done many miracles in his life and our small church's congregation lives.
I received an email last night from Carl's wife and she said that Carl now has skin cancer on his backside. It is pretty advanced and the option to cure it is not an option for him because his platelet count is too low and he would not be able to heal. So they are going to burn the skin off and let him heal from that-that alone will be 2nd degree burns on a lot of his backside. However, the doctors also think there is a good probability that Carl may have either anal or colon cancer as well. This news is just devastating. Carl is only 41 and his kids are 14 and 9. Please pray for this family and for another miracle. We have all seen what the Lord and I know He will be with this family.

Finally, everyone have a wonderful Christmas! Enjoy every moment! I know I will! I can't wait to see everyone's pictures :)
