FROM THE EXECUTIVE COUPLE
Dear Crazy Lovers, we just wanted to extend our special thoughts and prayers to each of you as we begin the Advent season. As we enjoy the fun of shopping for family and friends, and look forward to all the parties, it is good to remind ourselves of what getting “ready for Christmas” should mean. We can’t help notice how the world wants us to focus on all of the material things within our grasps but spends so little time thinking about the real reason we should all be excited for the GIFT we have already been given. It is so comforting and rewarding to have all of you in our lives. We see the gifts you offer each day, by giving of yourselves in such awesome ways, and living your love for one another openly for the rest of us to see. As we all prepare for Christmas, it is our hope and prayer that as you dialogue each day, you will be reminded of the gift that you are for each other. And thank you for your continued support for the encounter. Remember in the great wisdom of the guy they call VISA: Gift Card for Boss at work= $50.00; New DVD player = $100.00; finding someone who will truly love you for all time= priceless. We love you
Steve & Tammy and Family.

ATTENTION

WE NEED PICTURES, PICTURES, AND MORE PICTURES!

Reflections for Couples
Couples and babies. I do not know if there is anything so awe-inspiring as a newborn baby. So very small, shorter than my forearm, they weigh so little. Their big-eyes look up into the sky, not yet focused. Almost hairless, they are so very tender and soft. Instinct takes over 
for the child’s parents
