Christmas is COMING...

Creches everywhere remind us of the true reason for CHRISTMAS: Nativity sets from around the world were displayed at our Church recently to remind us of what we are celebrating...the birth of the SON.

As I'm aging I'm appreciating my mom's life more and the many sacrifices she made as a young widow only 28 years old when my dad was killed in an airplane accident. She got a job, moved us to California and supported me through my school years, college, and as a young mother, then a divorced person. Will be good to see her again...
