December Full of Blessings

November was a busy month.  Thanks to all for the great response to providing Christmas for kids at Christian Women's Job Corps.  The kids and their moms will be appreciative of the love and kindness that comes from our class.  And we have already participated in funding a bicycle for the NBA Toy Store.  And that was just November.

And December is full of even more opportunities to enjoy each other and share our blessings.  Saturday, December 4, 5:00 p.m. (we eat at 6 p.m.) is our Christmas Party.  No cooking required!  No gift buying required!  Just show up for a time of fun.  It's barbecue on the menu.  And the gift, if you choose to participate, is just something you love and want to share with the group.  It could be a joke, a special poem, something you have experienced, or a favorite Bible verse.  No wrapping required and one size fits all.

Room in the Inn season begins for our class on Saturday, December 18.  If you want to participate and haven't signed up, check with Sandra Landis at sandra.landis@vanderbilt.edu.  We will also have a movie night to coincide with Room in the Inn.  The crowd has voted and Polar Express is the movie!

The Whittles and Kearleys enjoyed touring beautiful Ft. Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas (Florida Keys) . Jim and Mary Alice celebrated their 39th wedding anniversary anchored near the fort.

There were a couple of days left over to explore historical Key West. A good time was had by everyone aboard the AnyTime.

Music City Marathon

Jimmy and I enjoyed joining hundreds of others Saturday to cheer on our 2 favorite runners in the Music City Marathon. Larry and Mike were running strong! I'm trying to add pictures so we'll see if it works this time. Larry was running so fast I only got him from the back.

7 lbs. 8 oz. , Pretty and pink

Congratulations to Windy and Dennis!  We are so excited Ashlinn is here and in the arms of incredible parents.

Being Real in an Artificial World

Authenticity is how non-Christians judge Christians.  What does it mean to be a real friend?  What is real loyalty?  How can you show real trust? How do we make forgiveness real?  How do I as a Christian model these attributes?

Join us for our new 13-week study entitled Authentic Relationships: Being Real in an Artificial World and see what the Bible says about relationship.

Happy New Year!

It's been a busy holidays.  Too busy to update our blog.  But most of you know what we have been doing. Movie nights, Room in the Inn, collecting money for rice, beans and bikes for Toy Store, and attending all the fabulous services here at Woodmont.

For the new year?  We will be introducing a new study soon.  Our next movie night will be the movie "An Unfinished Life".  After that, Seabiscuit.

Check back for the new schedule.

Love to you all. After all, It's A Wonderful Life.
