Merry Christmas in February


Below you will find our Christmas letter, which, although written in November, never really made it out...Since written we have moved to Peachtree City, Georgia.  We have most--no..SOME of our boxes unpacked.  We love the weather but miss our Kansas friends....

Dear family and friends,
  
We’ve had another exciting and busy year.  In January we moved from South Carolina to Kansas and in December we will move to Georgia.  In between we will have unpacked a few things, laughed a good bit, made new friends, shed some tears, prayed a lot…and through it all discovered that God continues to be more than enough.  

Thank you for your prayers and support during Sam’s surgeries this year.  He is doing well, really well. Whether retelling the story of Jesus calming the storm (“Jesus told that storm ‘to just zip it!'”), tearfully confessing how our miniature Mary figurine went down the tub drain (“Daddy, Mary drowned.”), or writing poems about an aardvark named Chapped Lips, Sam keeps us on our toes and constantly laughing .     

This Christmas our sincere prayer is that like us, you will investigate the outrageous claims of Jesus and will find Him to be true and…more than enough.

Wishing you ENOUGH this Christmas, 
Chip, Kristin, and Sam

A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said wouldn't be a great moral teacher. He'd be either a lunatic - on a level with a man who says he's a poached egg - or else he'd be the devil of hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was and is the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse... But don't let us come up with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He hadn't left that open to us. He didn't intend to.     C.S. Lewis
