Getting on board the blog express

We have determined that resistance to the world of blogging and an online presence is futile, so here is our very first post in blogworld. Since we are such interesting people, you'll want to check back here often to see the amazing things we're doing in our fascinating lives.

Since it's Christmas time, we'll share some thoughts about what December the 25th means to us. In one of our favorite movies, "Scrooge," which is a retelling of one of the world's greatest stories in musical form, there is a song at young Ebeneezer's place of employment that describes what Christmas ought to be to each of us. His employer is Mr. Fezziwig:
If there's one day in history
That's more than any myth
Beyond a doubt one day stands out
December the twenty-fifth!

I don't hear any arguments
So may I say forthwith
I wish that everyday could be
December the twenty-fifth!
December the twenty-fifth m'dears
December the twenty-fifth
The dearest day in all the year
December the twenty-fifth

Christmas truly is the geatest day in all the year. We believe that as the events unfolded that most holy day, we were among the heavenly host praising God in song and joyful cries of "Hosanna to His name."
The greatest day of all time however was the "third day" following the crucifixion and voluntary mortal death of the Babe of Bethlehem when He rose in triumph over death from His tomb. We know He still lives and loves us all.

So, there's our first post. The next will be about us and what we're up to in our lives, maybe an overview of the past year or so.
