Can you believe that Thanksgiving is over? It is hard to believe that Christmas is a month away. Our Thanksgiving was very peaceful this year. We actually went out to eat because it was just our immediate family and no extended family. Overall it was a relaxing weekend and we even got half of our christmas shopping done. I have to hand it to the people who get up early and go on black Friday! I could not do that. My mom and I went shopping on Saturday and there were no people and there were bargains too! It was great!

So, we start another week. We covet your prayers for the ministry as we end this year. There are many exciting things to come and the Lord keeps opening doors up!

It has been over a year since my dad's surgery and he is doing well. He is much stronger and is able to do more things than before. I hope you will continue to pray for him and all the pressures he has upon him.

This past weekend I went with my parents and some of our staff to a conference that Southern Evangelical (Norman Geisler's school) did. There were about 4,000 people that attended. They had speakers such as Josh McDowell and his son, Erwin Lutzer, Gary Habermas and many others. My dad spoke on Saturday morning and the interesting thing was that many people had never heard of our ministry and it was their first time to come to this conference.

I enjoyed so much meeting the people at our booktable! It was a wonderful conference and there were people who gave their life to the Lord. That makes it all worth while.

On another note, it is Thanksgiving next week! Time has gone too fast! At our house, we are busy decorating for christmas. We have family on my dad's side that comes and it takes awhile to put up the decorations. I know that this year I have a lot to be thankful for! At this time last year my dad was about to go into surgery. I thank the Lord that he saved my dad's life and he is still around to do the ministry God has called him to do! He is doing very well and I hope that you will continue to pray for him and that he contiues to have the strength he needs for each day! There is a lot to do in running a ministry but we are thankful for what the Lord is doing.

We are also thankful that the Lord opened the door to go back on the Inspirational Network this past weekend! Many people that have not been able to see us can watch us once again! I hope that you have a wonderful thanksgiving and to be thankful for all the the Lord has done in your life and for your family. Thanks for your support in this ministry.

Can you believe how close we are to Christmas? Where has this year gone? This past weekend I went to Nashville with some friends from college. It was so much fun! It was so good to be together. That is one thing I miss about college is my friends because we are all spread out.

We are in the midst of all our conferences and traveling quite a bit. Last weekend my parents were a part of a conference in Dallas where the topic was about Jesus and the media. This next weekend we are going to Charlotte, NC for an apologetics conference that my dad is speaking at.

I hope that you will continue to pray for our ministry and this time of year because we are starting on new stations both for radio and tv and for all our engagements that we are involved in.
