Dear Friends,
Welcome to the season of Advent! This time of year is always meaningful to me because it reminds me to slow down and consider God's promises. As we wait in expectation to celebrate the birth of Jesus, let us remember that God sent his son to fulfill those promises. God is good.

Verse of the Week:"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God." - Hebrews 12: 1-2 |

Couch Connections:
I am in my office Tuesday - Friday from 9:00 - 6:00 and am more than happy to have guests! If any students want to stop by, I have Mexican Coke in the fridge, Wifi for homework, a couch worth sitting in, and an activity table if you just want to play. Come by to visit anytime during my work hours! Maybe you'll get your picture posted on Facbook like Alex Klinglesmith, Evan Mackes, and Kaylyn King! |
