Yes, I am looking fabulous, but this is the only Christmas picture I have of my family this year - I spent the night before in the ER with my step-daughter, and the remainder of the night sleeping on the bathroom floor with my puking 2 year old. I then proceeded to go to church to help with a Christmas program where I had NO voice to speak, in the windchill of -41. Upon arriving at church, we were short 3 kids and had the most U-N-I-Q-U-E program in church history ('nuff said). I then brought my boys home to in-laws already at my house... and a mere 24 hours later... I was bowing at the throne - not the kind where one really intends to do any sort of worshiping. I then got to catch my puking step-daughter as she passed out from the narcotics... oh what a memorable Christmas. I am already talking into existance how much better next year will be.
It seems like life has taken over this blogging thing. Christmas was ... umm... crazy... The flu, 43 stitches, ex-wife challenges, 5 kids off of school, traveling, gifts, snow. I really can not even put to words where the last month has gone.
I did want to post and see if any of you have read "The Shack". I did and it seems like that was the one little bit of sanity during all this time. If you have read it, leave me a note with your thoughts, I would love to hear. If you haven't read it I would encourage you to do so. It is an easy, thought provoking read.
