One exciting thing was that though I am not known to win anything. I WON a Bible! Not just any Bible. Let me explain. I have been hoping to get the new ESV Study Bible. I thought maybe I would get it for Christmas, but I was wrong. So I figured God would get it to me at another time in the future. We'll anyway I was looking at a minister's blog about a week ago, and he was talking about how much he loved the ESV Study Bible, and was going to give away 10 of them. Just write 50 words or less why you want it. So I did. He then would go through the entries and pick 5 touching stories and 5 to be drawn randomly. So a few days ago I get an email that the drawing was done and that I won the Bible (not for my 50 words but in the random drawing). I was so excited, for one, I really had a desire to get this specific Bible, and also I never win anything. I believe there were about 300 entries. So I really felt this was a LOVE GIFT from God to me. Anyway it really touched me. It's just good to know God has not forgotten us in even the "little" things.
Also, I have had some great talks with people around the country, that have been edifying and encouraging for them and me. Well I better go and decide to shovel snow now or wait until tomorrow, and work on my sermons.
Keep us in your prayers ALWAYS! Thanks!
