Happy Jesus' Birthday To You

Greetings, Friend, it's that time of the year that
we all celebrate "something", hey? I trust that
you're celebrating the "reason for the season"!!

We are all well, "Thank you.", as we pray that
you all are, too. It would be great to hear from
you soon, especially if we could chat on the phone!
EXPECT A CALL SOON!

C.J. expects to be home for Christmas Day, though
he may have to get back for work on Saturday.
Chartel usually makes an appearance sometime
that day, so hopefully we'll have something close
to a "family dinner" together. Would be nice.

Chartel continues to take online college courses
while working at IHOP, and appears to be doing
well. We talk now and then, but not "now" enough.
Do you still have her number and address? Let me
know at heyrichey@yahoo.com and I'll send it
to you again.

C.J. is continuing to pursue improved employment
status, while hanging in at Hollister's. He plays
soccer 2 or 3 times a week, indoor and/or outdoor,
and works out at a gym to keep young and fit.
I had a great visit with him a couple of weeks ago.
Let me know if you need his contact info, too.

Cindy gets her foot operation this Wednesday, and
will be "booted" for a few days, with very limited
activity for "a few weeks", which, knowing her, will
mean a few days. Huh? She can't stand not to be
busy, at the shop, at home, at church, etc.
Keep her (and me) in your prayers, please.

As you know, I haven't been writing for a while,
due to cold weather, working too many hours,
and a bit of being "under the weather". Hope to
resume composing soon, or they'll have to come
and take me away. Watch for email "alerts".

WE PRAY THAT YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL
HOLIDAY SEASON, and that you'll give due
consideration to "making room for Jesus" in
your heart and in your life.

Love, Cindy and Bill Richey
