Iditarod

 Day 4 and Doug Swingley from Lincoln, MT is out in front. Dee Dee is number 4 or 5 - you GO girl! I’m sure you all knew that! We are missing it this year. They don’t even have coverage of it down here…but we can trace it through the Anchorage Daily News’ page. {g}

I was informed by a resident of our new home town that our new neighbors wouldn’t appreciate us following tradition and leaving our Christmas lights up until the last dog reached Nome. I have INSISTED on leaving my Snowmen out however….through WINTER…though it IS 87* outside. A friend at the park told me she had no trouble picking out our home because it was the only one in TX with a snowman out front. This is not true…Jill has a big snowman in her front yard too. Anyway, I’ve alerted my family that I will conform. I will take the snowmen down when the last dog reaches Nome.

Prayer Request - for my girls!

Wed at 9:45 a.m. PST the girls are in a big outreach to a local High School. They will be performing a Human Video that has a girl making good and bad choices...cutting, rape, eating disorders...they both have up performing parts and are possibly nervous about that...the whole team is feeling an "intensity" and asks for prayer. In fact Krista called this a.m. to ask who I had praying.

They have a final tomorrow. Both girls made A's last semester. They are doing well.

They had a purpose weekend last weekend and have both prayed through and worked through what their passions are...Bre towards the local church; Krista towards military youth...they are praying about the next step for next year.
