We've been in a deep freeze here for the last couple weeks. But things are beginning to get back to normal temps here. I am so grateful. Cold weather is not my thing.

This past November, the weekend before Thanksgiving, I was part of a Women's Retreat in North Carolina. It was inspiring group of women that blessed my heart. It is such a gift to be able to travel around and meet and talk with so many people-making new friends in the process.

Roy went with me to the retreat and made himself scarce because afterward we made our way down to Ft. Lauderdale to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with our daughter Ashley and her family.

Roy and I had a wonderful Christmas with our children and grandchildren visiting us for almost a week. We had a very full house and it was a precious time.

2009 was one of my busiest ministry years. Praise God. And I am looking forward to another blessed year. Because Jesus lives in 2010!

Please listen for my radio interview on January 31 on Lifetalk radio.

May the Lord make His face shine on you today!
