In the past, the month of December, and especially the days closer to Christmas have slowed down for me. Until this year. I have struggled to blog daily because of a crazy schedule which even took me off the road with my bicycle. It has been since the first week of November since I have been outside riding and we have had some phenomenal weather for this late in the year.
But this year has been different…for some reason. So rather than write half-hearted blogs which are thrown together at the last minute, I have made what is for me an unprecedented decision: I’m taking a hiatus for the rest of the year. Along with a busy schedule right up to the day before Christmas, as well as a Christmas morning breakfast for our community, I have my grandson coming in on Christmas day with his mom & dad. They leave Sunday for Ohio and we get to kidnap Braden for a few days. Monday we leave for Ohio to visit Jo’s sister and will be getting back on New Year’s Eve day. I’ll post for the last day of the year and for the first Sunday in 2016.
Until then…I hope you all have a Christ-filled and joy-filled Christmas. I appreciate each one of you who come to my little corner of the world-to read, comment, or just to hang around. See you in a few.
That also means I will be scarce elsewhere as well. Hope you can survive! 🙂
Have a very special Christmas and a blessed 2016, Bill!
Thanks Pam. Praying you do also.
I will be writing a lot less over the holidays too. Spending time with those right in front of us definitely takes priority. I’ve enjoyed reading from you this year, Bill, and look forward to hearing wha you’ll share in 2016. May you have a Merry Christmas with your friends, family, and church!
I’ve enjoyed learning from you also Lisa. I look forward to learning more in 2016.
Blessings to you. Hope you have the bestest time ever!
Back at ya!
Hey Bill, there’s perhaps nothing better than resting – and resting with family is the best! Enjoy your time with them, drink in all the wonderful blessings!
Have a very Merry Christmas, and I’ll look forward to your return to Blog Land!
GOD BLESS!
Thanks Sharon. I look forward to the rest but also the return.
Have a great rest of the year, Bill.
Thanks Larry. You too as well.
Just posted my last post for the year, looking forward to not having to prepare something. I always admire you who post every day, glad you do since I can gleam much wisdom. But for me, I had to on purpose slow my blog posts down to a crawl so really there will not be much of a change for me. Hope you don’t have blog withdrawals. Merry Christmas Bill to you and your family.
It was a good one Betty. Praying you have a joy-filled Christmas celebrating the birth of the ONE who changed everything.
Merry Christmas, Bill! See you in the New Year!
Lord willing for both of us Martha.
Good for you, Bill. Have a great time with the best Christmas presents our Father could ever give you; your loved ones. Merry Christmas, brother.

Merry Christmas once again!
Bill many blessings to you as you get ready to enter 2016, may your faith grow in ways you have never even imagined!
