Daughter and Son-in-Law

Children are so much a blessing and we were truly blessed to have our daughter, April, and her husband Tim here for Christmas day, with their daughter, Lauren. They have been so good about traveling here on Christmas and we surely appreciate their company.

It won't be many days until I'll have all my Christmas '10 layouts posted.  But Christmas will be in our hearts all year.

This evening we went to see  a sweet girl get married.  Her parents are beloved friends of ours.  The bride  and her husband are both in divinity school to become chaplains.  It was a lovely and heart warming wedding.

We need all these good times to make it  through the rough ones like the tragedy today in Arizona.  I just can't fathom how we can let people get so possessed that they would commit  such a hideous deed as to kill someone.. This young man killed 6 within about 20 seconds of gunfire.  Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was targeted, but so far survives. Six other innocent people, including a nice year old girl, were killed.  The gunman is in custody. A second  man who may have been an accomplice is the subject of a search.  I fear that some may try to blame this on the political right, but I can not believe that is true. It is the left that is lawless.


I am at a loss for words.
