There’s something about childhood and lights that are magical. Samuel and Tristen just laid under the tree looking up at the lights in wonder…

Here’s a little Christmas history.

Have a great one!

Merry Christmas!

It’s Christmas Eve and we let the kids open a present early. They received new sweet sleeping bags from their Grandparents, so tonight they’re all camping out together indoors.

Well, we had a good run at it. Fall passed and no Delony kids were sick. Then December was about done… then it hit. Oh, boy, did it hit.  Miriam’s got the Swine flu. Aida and Samuel have just the regular, plain ol’ flu (which is just as bad). James and Tristen are still holding out, but I think I’ll be the next to go (the symptoms are already starting…).

So I may not be posting much over the next couple of days… It ain’t easy being Mr. Mom.

So pray for us!

Some of the country will have a white Christmas, while others won’t. Feeling cheated because of your lack of snow?

Well, look no further than this handy snowflake  generator. So make your own snow!

Get some snow!

I was having a converstaion with a few youth workers the other day. And after listening for a while, I had this question:

When is “Youth Ministry” a dirty word?

I tend to see it as a dirty word when “ministry” becomes another word for “entertainment.”

Do you have thoughts, input or ideas?
