Naphtali News: Update
What's been going on
Getaway on the Mississippi
We had "earned" a free hotel night to use from the nights we stayed in Vail last summer,
so Paul and I ended up getting a free two-room suite complete with hot tub
(I'm a big fan of hot tubs, but, no, I didn't turn into a raisin!)
and a view of the Mississippi.
Sunday morning we watched the sun come up over the river.
The temperature that morning was well below zero,
so that's steam you see coming up off the river.Welcoming family!?
In addition to having all the family home for the holidays
(I can't say for Christmas since we weren't all together right on Christmas Day),
we had a special guest join us...
For those longtime readers,
if you remember, last December we had another possum join us as well.Celebrating our 26th Anniversary
with a steak dinner and free chocolate cake for dessert!
Soli Deo gloria!Walking outside with my ipod
and listening to my new CD,
Jeremy Camp's "Speaking Louder than Before."
Yes, I did write outside--even in the icy weather
here in Wisconsin!
These things are great; they help grip the ice, so you're less likely to fall.
What lies ahead, Lord willing
David Crowder Band concert
in less than a week
(but who's counting?)Surgery for my "baby"
my New King James Bible, that is.
I've so imprinted onto this Bible.
I've written all sorts of notes and cross references in it
(it has no cross references of its own),
as well as notations from other books/authors.
From my rough calculations, I think I've been using it for over 10 years now,
so it's gotten some pretty heavy duty use.
I'm now gearing up to take it into the book bindery to have it rebound.Blogging
I've got a lot of ideas swirling.
I'm not sure if/when these will all get posted...Something Old
"Things To Look for in a Church"
(maybe some day I'll finish this series!)
and
Something NewJoy
(I have at least about ten posts I'd like to do, about four of which are semifinished)
[edited 10.30.09 - Please note: I began a series on Assurance & Fighting for Joy on 10.14.09]and
Continuing on with
(for the next several Sundays I am planning to continue posting more about
about true and false religion using excerpts from Martyn Lloyd-Jones)God's blessings to you in the coming year
as we press on together to know Him and make Him known,

Karen - congrats with your 26th anniversary! Sounds like a GREAT way to spend it!
Looking forward to reading more of your posts in the year of our Lord 2009!
In honor of your 26th wedding anniversary. . . . ("Rachmaninoff's 18th Variation on a Theme of Pagannini" playing).
@nicolevw -Nicole, Thank you.
As far as I'm concerned anytime there's steak and/or chocolate involved, that's a good thing. 
@WLCALUM -Thanks for the musical gift. I do like classical music but I'm not a big classical music aficionado (even though we now have two professional musicians in our family!), so I had to track it down to take a listen. I really enjoyed the piece.
