The weekend went as planned. Marten had a great time fourwheeling. I got some dutch treats and I took the kids to the parade. Let me just say that I'm still thawing out. I was SO cold. It started at 5 and was over at 6:25. By then I was good and frozen. Even with snow pants and coats, hats, scarfs, gloves, and blankets. Brrrrrrr... Still, we all enjoyed it. The highlight for Nicolle were the dogs and the horses. Go figure! Jason just liked all the lights and being out at night. For me, the parade might have been boring during the day but it sure is pretty at night with all the lights. There was one point in the parade when a float went by from a church and it touched my heart. I had tears in my eyes at the thought of how many people they could witness to. It was the nativity scene and they were praising God with Christmas music. We've all seen it a hundred times before, but in that setting, it reached me and God filled me. It was so nice to sit there in the dark and be warmed with God's love for a moment.
Other churches passed out phamplets of their church's holiday concerts, etc. and candy canes with the story of how candy canes were created. Nice outreach. They could reach 100,000 people along the roads. Pray to God that some received The Message.

You are an urbanized city trooper! Sitting the side of a road for fun????? Oh I suppose watching floats go by would make it more interesting oooooook!
Really, glad you and the kids enjoyed it. Something I will have to some day in my life.
I start at Fuller in January. Apprehensive and excited at the same time. All new students enter on academic probation. B or better on the first course or you are out of the program after your very first class. Anyway I hope my first class is not to much over my head.
It will be one of these two. Not sure yet. either "Ethical Issues in Cross-Cultural Ministry" or "Theological Challenges of Religious Plurality"
Well over 1200 pgs of reading (5 texts per course) and 4 to 5 papers per class- all in 10 weeks. Get my drift? I'm sweating right now, and I will be till I get into the class and see how I am doing. Who knows how these guys mark.
Anyway, I applied to the best Missions program in the world, and I'll have to work for it. Now where will Martin and I squeeze in that coffee???????
Anyway, appreciate your prayers. Nice to see your news here.
