Stacie has really outdone herself with the beautiful decorations in the house this year.  With no snow on the ground it is difficult to remember that it's Christmas time in Colorado so Stacie's decor has immensely increased the spirit of the holiday season.  This week we are getting to view one of our favorite renditions of "A Christmas Carol" at church.  The production is very professional and the message very heartfelt.  The joy that character Scrooge felt with his new life is what we feel when the joy of God fills our lives.  Our celebration of Christ's birth really should carry on throughout the year but the world limits our joy to the end of December.  How often do you celebrate the joy in your life?
