There were a couple of highlights for me for Christmas 2009:

1)  The Christmas series “Giving Great Gifts” was very rewarding.  To pardon the pun, it was a gift to me to see people making changes in their lives and being inspired by the series.  God gave us all some great gifts, and allows us to share them others!  You can hear the series at Pineview Community Church’s website or from iTunes.

2)  Krista played a very tough set of music for our Christmas Eve service.  She worked her butt off and really nailed it.  It was really difficult and she did a stellar job.  On a similar but completely unrelated note, it was really quite inspiring to see all those candles held high with the lights off.

3)  A thirst for God.  These past few weeks of asking the question “What gift can I give to someone in light of what God has given to me?” has really made me reflect on what God has given us.  Immanuel, God with us!  He wanted me to know Him like He knows me and so Jesus was born.  What a gift.

Ok, well that’s more than a couple of things.  I can do that, it’s our blog!  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
