Last winter I was on the chat during the daily Bible study and it may appear like I have left the group. Well this is not the case. As spring got here I needed to start my day earlier as I live in the eastern time zone, and my wife wanted to do the study with me. I was very happy about that. Well as the summer went on and life happens, we now find ourselves about a month behind on the study. I am also now preparing for winter and a slower pace in life. I hope once again to show up in the forums as winter sets in. I am also hoping to spend a lot of time between now and Christmas ringing a bell for the Salvation Army. I have decided to do what I can for them as my earthly father made it a point to always keep an extra few bucks in his wallet this time of year, and he never passed a red kettle without putting something in it. If us kids were with him he always gave us money to put in it too. Now that my dad is with Jesus I hope I make both of them proud this year.
