Our daughter Minnie came home four days for Christmas and it was the first time in three years that we have been together during the holiday season. It was a wonderful time to relax and visit with her.
Since ACU students are home for the holidays, I have been given more time to study God´s word in preparation for my weekly studies at Oakridge. It is always a blessing to give a study and to have wonderful feedback from everyone in class. We have been studying Ephesians which is a beautiful letter from Paul to let us know that we are adopted by Christ as His children, and everyone of us has the same inheritance in Him, and to know that we are a part of His body, and He is our head.
What a blessing and comfort we have in our Lord Jesus.

12/17/06 Update
Students at ACU are frantically studying for finals right now so I decided not to go on campus. Instead, I went to the Mall of Abilene... and just sat there watching people walk by.
A little nine year old girl walked by me with her grandmother and she grabbed my hand. I could tell she had some sort of a handicap, I asked her grandmother if the little girl had cerabral palsy because she moved a lot like me. She responded no, but she had been born with a handicap. She has epileptic seizures, and other complications, but she kept grabbing my hand.
Her grandmother thank me for talking with her.
While there I talked with several other people some, of which I had not seen in several years.
Wednesday I finished teaching the first chapter of Ephesians at Oakridge church of Christ. I'd like to thank the church for giving me this opportunity.
Thursday night Rosa and I went to the Middleton Unit State Prison for a training session. The chaplain gave us the required training, and he advised us on how to conduct ourselves. He said we would be better off by listening more than talking. We believe the Lord will show us good opportunities on how to influence the inmates. Hopefully we can bring in the Word when the right occasions arises.

Speaking at Prestoncrest Church of Christ
Rosa and I have spent the past two days in Fort Worth and Dallas visiting our daughter (Minnie) and good friends (Brian, Amy, and Cale Davis).
We were invited to the Prestoncrest Young Married's Christmas Party at La Hacienda Ranch last night. We had such a great time and it was so uplifting visiting with young couples who love the Lord.
This morning I was invited to lead a combined class in the Prestoncrest auditorium. Prestoncrest was very hospitable and featured a story about our mission work in their bulletin and invited us back tonight for a time of fellowship after church.
They are adding us to their World Care program which will be a huge financial help to us. As always, God continues to care for us no matter where we go.
