It's Dec. 12. I have this entire week off from my paying job. Today I cleaned up the basement and in the process I found a New Testament that had belonged to my mother. She received it when she was 10 years old and a student at Lone Willow School in rural southwest Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The date was Dec. 13, 1920. How interesting ... 85 years ago tomorrow.
Dec. 13, 2005, the Ladies Class from church is coming to our house for its Christmas meeting. We exchange cookies and ornaments, reminisce, pray, share prayer requests and praises. We are a close knit group of ladies. Many of us have been together for 20 years or more.
Dec. 14, my husband and I and a friend will see "Polar Express" at the IMAXX/Science Station. I was able to purchase 2 tickets at a reduced price through my employment and got an extra one free.
Dec. 15, we are heading over to Prairie Middle School, where my nephew will be performing as part of the Seventh and Eighth grade band concert. He's in 8th grade and plays the piano and alto sax.
Dec. 17, we will host our annual Christmas Open House. We decorate our home, mostly indoors, and have a wooden creche outside near the lamp post. We have enjoyed opening our home to family and friends for 15 years.
Dec. 18, the Immanuel Baptist Church choir will present "Heaven & Earth Rejoice, A Christmas Worship Experience," at its evening performance ... that's 6:30.
Have you seen "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe?" We saw it Friday, Dec. 9. It was exciting and is full of symbolism. I have not read the book by C.S. Lewis but I sure would like to.
