December 7,

I was up at the hospital early this morning with Steve Pietroski who is having back surgery.  Some people are funny, even early in the morning.  As the nurse was going through pre-op questions she asked Steve if he had any jewelry.  As serious as possible, Steve replied, "I have a belly ring."  The nurse was trying to decide whether or not to write this down when fortunately Robin said, "no, he does not!"  Then when asked if he was diabetic, Steve said, "No, I am a Baptist."  Praying for his surgery to go well.

As always, I enjoyed the children's choirs presentation last night.  We have some very cute kids.  I think some of the cutest are a little bit ornary.  Maybe God made them so cute so they have a better chance of their parents letting them live to be adults!  I love the children of Immanuel.

In Christ,  Pastor Ron
