Reminding People Christmas Is About Christ

For those of you who sing, there is a great opportunity to share your voice and Christ love with Lincoln.

My peep, Shannon, sent me this video of a flash mob singing the Halleluhah Chorus in a food court. Someone told her that it was at Westfield Gateway which it isn't but it will be December 18th. There is a Lincoln Flash Mob group planning a similar event Saturday, December 18th at Westfield Gateway. You can go HERE to get more information on the event and how you can be a part of sharing Christ love with shoppers this Christmas.

Thanks, Shannon!

Bear With Me, My Belly and My Internet

If you can all bear with me and my lack of posting for the next couple of weeks I would appreciate it.  I will be having a baby no later than next week.  I am trying to get the last minute things done before he gets here so blogging has had to be a little farther down on my priority list.  I am still posting everyday just not at my usual speed.

Along with the busyness of getting ready for my little guy out internet is still having issues.  They will be out again tomorrow to attempt to fix it so we will see.  At this rate (4 visits in three weeks) I am not holding my breath. 

I am working on CVS, Walgreens and Target this afternoon so hopefully my internet will hang in there for me to get them done.  Thanks for being patient peeps and I promise I will be back to my usual speed soon!
