This is Gavin and Jessica's dog, Jake. He visited us on Christmas Day and greatly enjoyed playing with the toy we gave him. Jake is a funny and fun little dog.
It was a Child who gave us Christmas; it is children who keep it fresh. To get the real good of Christmas, you have to see it through the eyes of a child. ~ Rachel Peden

Twelve Things I've Learned
As I get older I am becoming fonder of tenderness
Beauty fades but substance doesn't
Don't compromise yourself, it's all you've got. (Janis Joplin)
Dream as if you'll live forever; live as if you'll die tomorrow. (James Dean)
Hope begins in the dark. You wait and watch and work: you don't give up. It is important to fight for your joy
I sing in church even though my singing is wretched; God doesn't care how well I sing
I've never lost anything by giving things away
Sometimes you just have to jump off the cliff and hope you grow wings on the way down (Ray Bradbury)
The best things come when you least expect them
The two best prayers I know are: help me, help me, help me and thank you, thank you, thank you (Anne Lamott)
There are cracks in everything; that's how the light comes in (Leonard Cohen)
When you get the choice to sit it out or dance--I hope you dance! (Lee Ann Womack)
