Monday Morning Dec 25th...CHRISTMAS DAY

Well Sunday was a busy fun filled day of worship both on line with Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg, Va. before our service at SRBC at 10:30 and then again later in the evening at 6 PM with a candle lite service. We worshiped with lots of new faces as well with old friends and faces from out of the past. What an awesome way to celebrate the birth of our Savior on this special day as I do every day with my morning quiet times that start my day to honor HIM, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing. All seem to be holding as of this post.

We came back after the one service which had the auditorium filled with families and their kids as well for a change with Nancy dropping me off at home while she shopped for the last minute things at Publix and to pick up a 140 dollar standing rib roast which we will feed to the Ross Family and Aunt Betsy's family. Bobby will not be here this year for supper as its Jill turn to have the older kiddo's but they will come for a brunch of egg casserole and all the fixin's along with the Ross family and neighbors Dan and Carol. It will be a day of "high on the hog" eatin'. We will open gifts after eating with them before he has to have Annsley and Gabe back to Jill's.

I watched some NFL on the TV before we headed out to the candle lite service and the Bucs actually showed up as a team and beat a team with a great record for a change. That makes it easier for them to be in the playoffs despite a dismal record in their division but they have beat all of the teams in the division. I watched the first half and they were up 20-0 against the Jaguars which was leading their division and the final score was 30-12.

We were supposed to meet up with the Tracy's at SRBC with another couple and then go to Bonefish Grille for supper at 7:30 but when we got there the reservation was not listed so we tried a couple other places and they were all closed or closing for the evening, oh well. It was understandable everything closed early due to it letting workers go home to be with family so we came back home after dropping the Botbyl's off and had some cheese and crackers and pop corn. I watched the NFL as there was a late game in Denver which was very cold outside. Its supposed to rain here for most of this day which is needed and cool down as well, LATER... MERRY CHRISTMAS to all.
