Tasks Completed & The Joy Of Christmas

Finishing Things Up ... I've been working on my web site for what seems like years. In truth, it's only been a few months. But it's been taking up all , and I do mean all, of what seems to be all of my extra time. My web page is finished and I do hope you amble over and take a gander.

There are still a couple of things I need to add -- like a shopping cart -- if you can call the shopping cart a last minute item -- and the Photo Gallery. This web site has been a labor of blood, sweat, and tears - truly. Not to mention the countless hours I have devoted to it. Worth it? You better believe it.

Everything is in one place -- that is everything except the blog -- and this is such a great place to blog, wouldn't you agree?

ON A DIFFERENT NOTE >>>

Thanksgiving was a time to rest and be thankful. Christmas is now just around the corner and will be another time to rest and be thankful. As a Christian, I am always thankful for the gift of Jesus and His decision to leave heaven for me - to spill His blood for me - to die for me. To die for all of us.

Christmas is a time when families like to give gifts to each other. Gifts that are wrapped in beautiful shiny paper with ribbons and bows. Jesus is the ultimate gift. God reached out His hand and said, "... He loved the world so much He gave His only Son, that whoever believed in Him would not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3.16) -- all we have to say to Jesus is "yes". There is no wrapping paper to deal with, no difficult boxes to open. Just say, "yes".

Won't you consider your eternity - where will you spend it?

Won't you consider the gift of Jesus -- the true reason for Christmas -- and start the new year with a new heart and say "yes" to Jesus!
