Merry Christmas to everyone! Karisa and I made it safely to Cleveland TN to relax and enjoy the holidays with Karisa's side of the family. It is especially joyful for a number of reasons. One, Christ is come to earth! Two, Karisa has quit her job and is finally free from the stress and crazy hours of a foster care social worker. And third, Alethea and Justin have provided the cure from having to continue to use the library for videos in the form of a gift certificate to NetFlix. (This was especially timely as the library was already running low on movies that were worth borrowing. See my last post.)
Of course, we also miss my side of the family. Which reminds me of an invention I came up with when I was growing up on the mission field. It's pretty simple machine, really. Basically, what it does is instantaneously transport you from one place to another. The memory that stands out to me as a child was that of grandparents suddenly being able to visit. Admittedly, the invention is still in blueprint stage. I'm having trouble with a few of the parts...
Well, I'm back to family activities (at the moment watching Alethea get a Wii Fitness age of about 200!)

Please don't exagerate so much... she was only 74 :)
We will miss you guys when you go back to Wheaton. We will keep my Wii fitness age a secret :)

Holly Schlaack provides us a guide to the anguished world of manylittle kids. She tells their narratives of life both earlier and after they enter foster care. Her firsthand, on the ground feel is capsulized in her list of "A Dozen Ways to Make a Difference," so that the reader will be not only affected by these stories but shown a map to help make life better for them. I recommend Invisible Kids for any professional or private citizen who concerns about children. (www.InvisibleKidsTheBook.com)
Johnmark..
Let me give you a "lesson" in the Johns family "activities"...
What "happens in Cleveland" should stay off your blog! (Especially when it comes to Wii fitnes ages LOL)...
You are part of a wonderful family....and apparently, they have another wonderful son-in-love.
