I mentioned in my last post that I am terrible at corresponding. I haven't been able to get myself to send out a Christmas letter in about 7 years, much to my dismay. I was talking with a couple of friends about this problem and came to the conclusion that perhaps I am overwhelmed by having to sum up our life in a one-page letter. Trying to sum up 7 years is nearly impossible! Or, is it? This is probably all you really want to know. The basics haven't changed.
Still married.
Still in the same house.
Still have just the two boys.
Still active in church.
Still happy.
The end.

What a Wonderful World
I have been thinking about this Louis Armstrong song for quite a while--as in every year that goes by when I don't get around to sending a Christmas letter yet again. I can hear his voice as I sing along, "I see friends shaking hands sayin' 'How do you do?' They're really saying 'I love you.' ... and I think to myself, what a wonderful world."
I am terrible about keeping in touch with some of my favorite people. I wish I could see each one of my family and friends face-to-face and say "How do you do?" I hope they would be able to see that what I'm really saying is "I love you ."
I feel so grateful to have become acquainted with so many wonderful people. Each of you has blessed my life and made me feel that this truly is a wonderful world.
