I think tomorrow will start "diet day". Yeah, I know....seems pointless to start in the middle of the Christmas season. And next Sunday night we are having dessert night at church after we go Christmas caroling. But I've got to start somewhere. Over the last year, one of my sisters has lost a bunch of weight. I found it.

We are planning our usual candlelight Christmas Eve service. We will still have a church service Christmas Day, which is on a  Sunday this year. Just a worship service and no Sunday School. A lot of churches have canceled their Sunday services, but we wondered what kind of sense that makes. Here we are, celebrating the birth of Jesus, and we cancel the service meant to worship Him, so we can party, eat and open gifts? No.....Jesus is the most important thing about this holiday.

I was thinking this morning - something I try not to do most mornings In our lives, we count on other people. But people, being only human, let us down. They cannot always be there for us. Even well meaning friends and family let us down. Or they hurt our feelings in some way. But God doesn't do that. He is always there with us, eventhough we don't see Him. He is always there to comfort us. He is the only one who does not let us down.

Steve is preaching in the evening service tonight. That always makes me nervous.

Thanks for the email, E  I always enjoy listening to what you have to say.
