Each year in life, the obligatory holiday's greeting cards usually are always the same. Trite cards, with mundane holiday greetings sometimes do not perk you up around the holidays like they are supposed to. Sometimes there are photos of friends, relatives and their families that you've not seen in a long time. Some days it is almost a chore to see the cards you received, and the ones that are returned. Others greeting cards are from business associates or persons vying to do business with you and other cards you can't even place where they know you from. I can only think that it feels like early stage dementia. This year we received much of the same...and we also received some cards from friends and relatives on Garden City Long Island with a picture of our youngest son working in the missions in Jamaica. What a great present and treat it was to get this Christmas! The reason it was a treat was that it was totally a surprise to friends and relatives that read the article, and to us his parents. It was unexpected.
After our youngest son James graduated college at Catholic University of America in DC decided to work for the church for a few years as a campus minister at Hofstra University. I think it was a good choice for many reasons, and this is just the latest! Mom and Dad are very proud of him!

Jim,
I can think of nothing that would make me prouder than my daughters doing mission work like your son is doing. I know you are proud:) We plan to take them on a mission trip perhaps to Mexico next year so they can get some perspective on just how blessed they are!
Jim, What a delightful surprise? We are just in the early teenage years, so it will be a while. I do love the kids schools. We are particularly impressed with St. Pius. They have a great "works of mercy" program that impresses me to help the kids appreciate the work of Jesus! I know you must be so proud. All the best in 2010! Michelle
Mike Frazier, Dyersburg Tn Real Estate (Carousel Realty of Dyer County) I know it is a tremendous blessing to see ourselves and others as we truly are and act upon it. Happy New Year!
Michelle Francis, Atlanta GA (Tim Francis Realty) Michelle, both of our sons went to Pius also! Great school. You will not be disappointed.
