I'm 59 years old. I've been online for 33 years - starting with my own dial-up bulletin board system in 1993 - and continuing with AOL, my own dot.com web site, Myspace, WordPress, Twitter / X, Flickr, and Facebook.
It’s been awhile since I did an edition of ‘Bedtime Stories’ on here. I’m surprised that my dear friend of the past 23 months Ela O. hasn’t complained in public about that fact.
So it’s the end of the 18TH day of December in 2008. Christmas Eve is just 6 nights away, and a week from now Christmas Day will be just about done and over with. But let us all remember the reason for the season. It is to celebrate the glorious birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ – not just on December 25TH, but every day before and after that. It’s a joyous event that means so much more to me now than it ever did before this journey began for me.
I’ve just about wrapped-up the preparing and the sending of the Christmas Cards for this festive season. I’ve sent out more cards this year than in any previous year. Thank You Lord for all of these new friends that you have blessed me with to share Life on this fantastic journey that you’ve created especially for me.
Although I will be going out-of-town next week I will not be missing any Sunday mornings at Life Pointe Church. Anne J. wouldn’t allow me to take church leave. 😆
If I don’t see you between now and then I wish each and every one of you reading this a very Merry Christmas. May it be safe and peaceful with yourself and your loved ones. Remember the reason for the season.
Oh yeah – and also REMEMBER THIS !

Thank You Patricia for taking this shot of me via your cell phone. I had no idea that you were doing so. That’s how I always look when I eat MASSIVE turkey legs !
So far this season I’ve been correct nearly 65% of the time. That’s actually below my lifetime average. Let’s see if I can raise that seasonal average by at least a few percentage points.
