Now that Thanksgiving is over, everyone is putting up their Christmas decorations. Americans love decorating. We decided to save our decorating energy for Christmas, to show that it is an important time for us. So after church today we went to the shops, where Scott was very happy to find something special for our front lawn. While you do see lots of snowmen, raindeers, and basically lots of lights outside people's houses, there isn't a whole lot of Jesus. But we are trying to help our kids remember that we are celebrating Jesus' birthday, and that's the most important thing about Christmas. Hence - our inflatable nativity scene. P.S. It is still on its way to being totally inflated. When it is, a light shines through Mary's heart.

Did you do anything for Thanksgiving?
We went to Wisconsin Dells to an indoor waterpark. Accidently missed having the traditional meal. Went to the wrong restaurant.
Oh, my gosh! Culture meets Jesus. Who wins? Full marks for enjoying the missional engagement. I think it's the heart that just socks it to me. What are you going to do with that man of yours, Kate! :-)
Wish we were there to join in the fun. Lots of love and prayers as ever.
