Hi Ho Bloggers -

Well, it has been a couple of days since I blogged.... I have been very busy around the house and getting ready for a big meeting at church next Sunday...... I have spent many, many hours creating a 3 minute PowerPoint presentation that pictures the programs, ministries, and missions that we do at Cherokee..........it is timed with a very neat praise song (our praise team does it, but I am using a recording) - the song is You are Holy... Today, I have been thinking about and writing down information for my part of the presentation on Sunday... I am sure I will be nervous, but I am excited now....

On Saturday night Dennis and Marie and Chalmer and Meredith came to our home for dinner.... We had a great time....................good food, great fun, and greater friends!!! It does not get any better than that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I did cut the grass - and starting on Thursday or Friday, I will cut the grass at church for the first time - now, that is really exciting......Holy Grass Cutting!!!!

Today I got some of my grandkids Christmas presents from the UPS truck.... The favorite thing I got for two sets of grand kids is something called "Band in a Box." It is the kind of gift the grandkids will love and my kids will be less than thrilled with...... go figure?

Don't you think the children will love this gift??????????????? There are 10 different instruments in there and as you can see, most of them are percussion!!!!!!

I was just thinking today how lucky I am to be alive.........God has blessed me.

Take good care of yourself, cheers, john
