Merry Christmas

Okay you lazy bloggers, where have you been? I know everyone is busy but don't forget the lonely blog.

I pray everyone has the best and a very Merry Christmas. PLEASE do not forget David Perkins at this time of year. Pray for health, and his safety. Especially pray for his salvation. Bring him before the throne every opportunity you get. What more important thing as Christians do we have to do but to Glorify God and pray for the lost. Nothing else matters.

Christmas Cards

Ok Siler Bloggers, come on. Time is getting short to send David Perkins phone cards so he will be able to call home for Christmas. See his address below or send cards or check to Laura or me. We will buy them for you. This is very important and I find I can spend my money on lots of useless stuff. A simple thing like this card is showing Christ's love to someone like David who does not know the Lord. Send him a Christmas card (see his address in Laura's blog entry below). David needs a connection to home at a time like this. He's 19 and I am sure misses his family. I know you may not know him but that doesn't matter. he won't know you either. So you can introduce yourself. Youo don't have to spend great big money, $5.00-10.00 will go a long way.

Thanks a bunch!

If you would like to minister to Chris and Laura Griffith's son-n-law who is spending the holiday in Iraq, his address is:

PFC Perkins Jr., David W
572nd MAC Engineer Co.
Q-West Base Complex
APO AE 09351

David is in need of calling cards. Katie has to wait on him to call her and their budget didn't allow for this expense. The cheapest rate I have been able to find is .28/min. and that is buying a 500 minute card for $27.50 that converts to only 90 minutes of international calling.

For more details about the calling cards or to buy them, visit the AAFES, NEX or Marine Corps Exchange Web sites or call (800) 527-2345.
If you know of something better, let me know.
Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!!!

Another Great Siler Christmas Party

We really enjoyed the party. Lots of good food and conversation. The little ones are definitely growing up! On Sunday, Dec. 2, Billy, Linda and I went to the Roanoke College Choir's performance of "Lessons and Carols". It was at St. Andrews Church. The music was beautiful, and the audience got to sing as well. Like Sara, we will be busy every weekend up til Christmas. It's always fun, but then it's good to get some rest after the holidays.

great party

Well from the looks of about all of us we need to stop strapping on the feed bag!

Saturday was fun and it was good to see everybody. Sorry if you missed the get-together, maybe next year? it was a busy weekend for me. it started on thursday night. I met the ladies who used to work with me in the Children's Center at Hollywood's Rest. then our get together on Saturday lunch. Then at 6:00 on Saturday night yet another get together. This one was for the staff of Roanoke Valley Christian School. But that's not all, on Sunday at 12:30 we met at Putt-Putt for a small party for Tessa's 3rd birthday. So it was a happenin' weekend for me. Next weekend is almost as bad. I can't wait until Christmas so I can rest. I have 11 straight days off.

OK, let's get the blog up and running again. Let's hear from you slackers out there.
