Sorry it’s been awhile. I came down with the flu for about a week. Boy, was this the worst time to get sick!

I Carry Your Heart
In my quiet and bible reading time, I came across this passage in Philippians and it is a message that I want to send to my old church family.
Philippians 1:3-11
3I thank my God every time I remember you. 4In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5because of your partnership [...]

Baci (bah-chee) played “Feliz Navidad” for Derek over Christmas to give him some Spanish to mix in with his Polish Christmas festivities. My little Poli-Mexi-Rican!
