Merry Christmas!

In the spirit of our Advent Conspiracy, my wife Jodie and I have decided to deliver our Christmas love electronically this year!! I know, I know...it's a cheap thing to use technology to fuel frugality. But I mean this sincerely, so here it goes:

This year,
I am thankful to Jesus for the life that He has given me.
I am thankful for my wife Jodie, my daughter Alex, and my son Caleb.
I am thankful for the incredible people of Overlake Christian Church, for their dedication to Jesus, for allowing me to be on the journey with them, and for the staff and leaders there who make it a truly dynamic place to serve.
And I am thankful for you.

This year, in sincere humility, I encourage you to thank Jesus for ALL of His gifts in your life. I wish you a very Merry Christmas, and an ADVENTUROUS 2009! Join us for Christmas EVE, if you are up for braving the roads!
