The current issue of The Grace Journal will have arrived in mail boxes about now and I want to welcome those who are visiting us for the first time. I put a note in the Journal and hoped you'd drop by. I would be happy to hear from you via the Comments, email or snail-mail. This isn't just a one way street!
Just a quick update on my ongoing physical battles: the radiation treatment for the cancer has taken more of a toll on my than I had anticipated. I just did a questionnaire for the study I'm in and it was interesting that of the five categories they were concerned about, I am only experiencing things in two of them. That means I'm doing lots better than I otherwise could have! Joy! I plan to be back on the road in January. The Florida conference is scheduled for January 11-13 and we look forward to a great time in the Word.
Thanks for all the kind notes and calls--and especially your prayerful interest. It is heartwarming for Cynthia and me. It seems that "virtual hugs" are great!
On the home front, we finally finished the remodeling of our downstairs living area, just in time for David and his family to arrive from Florida. Rick and his family come in on Sunday evening (they leave AZ after he preaches Sunday a.m.). So we will have a full house for the holidays. Not often we can get everyone together at one time! We will be having dinner on the 25th at Jody's house. Oyster dressing is naturally on the menu. Rick will teach at Shorewood on Wednesday evening.
The last weekend of the year we have a conference scheduled at Shorewood with Ted Fellows preaching for us. He and Sue will arrive before everyone has gone home, so its a good thing he doesn't take up much room! If you are in our area, come join us for a great weekend. It concludes with a Watchnight on the 31st. If you can't make it, join us via the Internet. Go to Shorewoodbiblechurch.org and follow the video prompt. It is real time, live and in color!
Maranatha!

Good morning Richard
It sure is good to be able to hear from you through your blog and see up close how grace is working to bring about "all things working together for good ...." and "though the outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day." It's one thing to preach it, quite another to live it. Thanks for showing us how it's working in your curcomstantces.
We sure hope you don't get traveling too soon. I'll bet Cynthia is saying the same thing.
Speaking of traveling, Bill and I were down to Arizona a few weeks back to see my folks, John and Mary Todd, and got the chance to visit Rick's Wednesday night Bible study. Let me say this, any preacher who can work up that kind of excitement on a Wednesday night with a room full of snow birds is some kind of terrific preacher. Tell him "HI" from Bill and Deb Walker.
Thanks for updating us on the list of new words. I can see I'm far behind the lingo of the day, but I'll try to interject "wOOt!" next time instead of "Yippee!!"
Holy hugs to you and Cynthia with a few kisses thrown in as well.
Bill and Deb Walker
Love the blog to see what you are thinking about...always interesting.
Wayne and I are notorious for a low-key New Year's eve...but looking forward to checking out the celebration at the church.
Thinking of Col 1.11..."unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness"...always a struggle...struggle is from the word stretch...which hurts when not in shape! : ) So wishing you well as you continue with the cancer treatments and hope you will be strong for the upcoming conferences.
Good wished to all.
Linda
