Eleven days into 2014.  Not a bad start for the most part.  Spent New Year's Eve with brethren.  Now that's the way it should be.  Quality time with quality people!!  Good music too! :O)  We've had several of our brethren from other assemblies come to church so far this year.  WOW, it is such a blessing to see them walk through the doors.  Then we've had several over to the house for visits too.  We had the snow storm of the century on January 5th.  We had around 12 inches of snow.  The temps dropped down to -15 and the next day it never got out of the negatives.  Bone chill'in cold.  But thank God we were warm and safe.  A bit of sad news, my cousin delivered her baby at 18 weeks.  A perfectly formed little boy.  No, he didn't make it.  I saw pictures of them holding the baby.  My heart broke to see the looks on their faces.  What should be looks of great joy was such deep sadness.  What do you say?  All my girls have had miscarriages.  I didn't know what to say to them either.   All I could do was to hold them and cry with them.  Praise be that God is a better parent than I am and gave them the comfort they needed.  But on a happy note, Krissy turned 30.  Oh wait a minute, that just means I'm getting much older.  Ugh!! :O)
