Merry Christmas!

Long time, no post. Sorry about that! Thank you for the nudge, 3beards. Things are ok here. We had a delightful Christmas Eve in the Swedish style. Sort of. We had Swedish meatballs and boiled potatoes, but skipped the zillions of kinds of pickled herring. Our good friends that we celebrate holidays with don't eat pork, so we skipped sharing

This last week we had to write about the role money should play in a Christian's life and a couple of the people were soooooooo confused about Christians and money, saying that God would bless the truly Christian and make them wealthy. Christians deserve an "exquisite" lifestyle. I tore those posts apart. I was very curious what the actual pastors would say about the remarks (we have two pastors in our program), but neither of them chimed in. The funny thing is, the two people who believe this wealth non-sense are both struggling to make ends meet. I don't understand their thought process. I guess it is something like magical thinking and believing that eventually they'll be good enough Christians to be rich?

I wonder if they're thinking, "But we're good Christians, so we should be wealthy! It's not our fault!"

Aww, poor Elsa! I hope it passes quickly.

I hear ya on the weight loss. I'm not going to weigh myself until January 1, and then, well, let's just say I have a plan and have bought all I need to get it started.

Unfortunately, we could never live together because I have a horrible, horrible cough that takes forever to go away when I get sick. You would probably kill me and that would be sad.
