Tis the Season

 Hey Everyone!

Sorry, it's been a while. Things have been busy. Basketball is in full swing and my team already has three varsity games under our belts. We won our first two games and lost our third, but we all played hard, even if some of our shots wouldn't fall like we wanted them to. 

It has also started to look a little like a white Christmas with the snow that we've gotten. It has melted a little bit, but some is still left on the ground reminding us that it's December. The temperature is also reminding us it's December. These last few days we have had to pull out the heavy winter coats, the stocking caps, and the winter boots to stay warm. Hold on a second...it's already December! That means Christmas break!  It doesn't seem like we are almost done with 2024. Thanksgiving is done, it's less than two weeks till Christmas is here, and then after that, we hit New Year's and another year is here. School is almost out for Christmas break and almost the halfway point of my Junior year. We are kind of starting to slow down on schoolwork since we get out next week. Dual credit college classes ended last week so that gives me one less thing to worry about for the last week of school.

Being able to look back on the past year makes me think of all the fun memories that were made in the last 12 months. That also gives people a chance to look forward into what new opportunities and memories that 2025 has in store. Everyone have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Enjoy all of the food, the time with family, and the presents, and remember why we celebrate Christmas. 

Luke 2:10-12

But the angel reassured them. "Don't be afraid!" he said. "I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. The Savior-yes, the Messiah, the Lord-has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David! And you will recognize him by this sign: You will find a baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger."

Until the next post,
