Festivities

With Christmas just 4 days away, I am wondering where the time has gone. I am currently working on divinity. We haven't baked any cookies although the fruit cake is done. Kim and I barely did the Christmas shopping yesterday. I am wondering if we are going to get all the traditions in this year.

Work is going fine. I am learning my job and hopefully will get to the point where I am the one being asked questions instead of doing the asking.

Arianna is here and while the older kids are doing thier own thing. (quite natural for twenty somethings) we are mostly together as a family.

I guess I should just be thankful that we are all healthy reasonably happy and doing fine. this past week two different young people we know attempted to take their own life. It is horrifying to me that they (at ages 17 and 18) find life so awful that they want to end it. I will keep praying for them and their families. I don't know what else I can do.

I am enjoying my calling as first councilor in the RS organization. I hope I am taking some of the burden off the President.

Well back to the divinity.
