10. Our Family Christmas Card

Here is our family Christmas card. We had the picture taken at Nick and Sarah’s wedding in July.  Given how we are spread out between Dallas, Chicago, California and China, it’s a small miracle to get everyone together in the same place at the same time.

11. How Sally Meet Jesus

Dear Praying Friends, Will you “walk across the room”?
