Dear Friends and Family,

I apologize for not being touch for nearly a month.  I have again had computer problems, which may or may not be resolved.  When I brought it back from the ‘doctor’ this morning the old email problem reared its ugly head again.  However, this afternoon all is well.  No comprendo!

I hope you all were blessed by being reminded of why Jesus came down to be born – so He could die for our sin.  I also hope you have a 2011 that is full of God’s grace and love.

I had a relaxing couple of weeks and am looking forward to resuming my responsibilities.  Thank you very much for all the good wishes you have sent me via cards and email.

Support Groups: Before Christmas we had done half the Boundaries course and we will begin tackling the second half this Saturday morning.

The DivorceCare (Broken Marriages and Partnerships) group starts meeting this coming Monday evening.  I pray that the two ladies who had been attending will continue.

Sunday evening we’ll continue our preparations for starting a Celebrate Recovery group.

***Please pray for these groups and all the participants, especially that God will help us to grow spiritually.  I’m not sure where the two ladies are spiritually, but please pray for their salvation.***

Bits: -I had a lovely visit with my South African friend, Maggie.  It was just too short.

-The Arctic weather has stayed away for several weeks and long may that last.

-I feel quite at home in my house now.  All the windows have curtains and all the most urgently needed painting has been done.

-Please continue to pray for my computer issues.  How did I ever cope with life without one???

Thank you for all your support.

In His service,

Merrily
