Email from Me to You

Since I don't have any email to answer, I'll post something here. Let's see...


Well, I've been prepping for my little get-together with the Swov's Christmas Eve. This year we're having everybody come here at noon & party all day. Then we'll head to church where all our kids are in the Christmas program (except Rooster) then back here for more family fun. I just finished cleaning the carpet in our "wreck room" :) with Steve's carpet cleaner. Not bad. I think U.R. would be happy with it. I'm hoping to get the house in order so I can wrap and enjoy the last few days leading up to Christmas.. especially since Bitzky will be here. That reminds me, I've got to get to the grocery. Tomorrow a.m. we're all getting up and taking Daddy to work at 8 a.m. ('cause the stupid truck is acting up) Then, Boogie to school at 8:30. Then, Rooster & I can hit the grocery, head home, and then go pick Boogie up from school when he gets out. Right now, I'm headed off to get Miss Melanie's Christmas present together. I think I'll make a card right quick since I just got new printer ink. While I do that, I'll have to preheat the oven. Craig has a carry-in tomorrow & I'm making fruit pizza for that. One for work and one for us. I don't have to make him lunch since he has a carry-in. So, what have you been up to?

Dangit, I'd better get busy.


Ok, so..have a good one!

The King is Coming!

We just started practicing this song in choir this week. Maybe I've been under a rock...I've never heard it before. Anyway, if you can, listen to the words...it sets up the scene and tells a story. Love it! Sounds better sung by a choir, I think, but you get the idea.


The marketplace is empty, No more traffic in the streets, All the builders' tools are silent, No more time to harvest wheat; Busy housewives cease their labors, In the courtroom no debate, Work on earth is all suspended As the King comes thro' the gate.
O the King is coming, The King is coming! I just heard the trumpets sounding, And now His face I see; O the King is coming, The King is coming! Praise God, He's coming for me!
Happy faces line the hallways, Those whose lives have been redeemed, Broken homes that He has mended, Those from prison He has freed; Little children and the aged Hand in hand stand all aglow, Who were crippled, broken, ruined, Clad in garments white as snow.
O the King is coming, The King is coming! I just heard the trumpets sounding, And now His face I see; O the King is coming, The King is coming! Praise God, He's coming for me!
I can hear the chariots rumble, I can see the marching throng, The flurry of God's trumpets Spells the end of sin and wrong: Regal robes are now unfolding, Heaven's grandstand's all in place, Heaven's choir now assembled, Start to sing "Amazing Grace!"
O the King is coming, The King is coming! I just heard the trumpets sounding, And now His face I see; O the King is coming, The King is coming! Praise God, He's coming for me!
