A Few Things I Want to Share

1. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve! Its only three hours away for me. I hope everyone has a very very enjoyable day with family and friends. Hopefully you won't all freeze on your way to visit them. I hear its COLD over there!

2. I will have lunch tomorrow with some people from the Czech Republic. Its a long story, but the family I am living with met them at the airport and they are coming over for lunch. It should be fun! Hopefully they'll come to the English Christmas Eve service with me.

3. I am in the process of teaching myself HTML code. So far, so good.

4. I am also in the process of setting up www.Boundforotherports.com. My own domain! It will still be awhile before its completely active, but I'll keep you updated. Thanks to Puddleboy for the help!

5. After Christmas I hope to finish telling you all about my trip to India. There is still more!

That's it for now. Time to get some reading done since the power is out again. I've taken a break from War and Peace for a book called Silent Night that my parents sent me for my birthday. Its about an impromptu cease fire during WWI in 1914. If you do not know anything about this story I'd suggest checking it out; its incredibly interesting. On Christmas Day the enemies shook hands in the middle of No Man's Land to celebrate Christmas together, and the next day they were back to shelling and shooting each other. That gives you something to think about.

So...

Merry Christmas, everyone! My God bless you as we celebrate the day He sent our Savior.

There's a country song from about ten years back called "Belleau Wood" by Garth Brooks that talks about that event in WWI. The sort of thing that would seem almost impossible or ridiculous...

Merry Christmas, Paul. Hope the holiday treats you well.
