It's beginning to look alot like....

Christmas! I started listening to my $0.30 Bing Crosby White Christmas thrift store cassette tape a month ago. Now, everywhere is decorated and this month brings friends and family together.

Micah 5:2
"But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, are only a small village among all the people of Judah. Yet a ruler of Israel will come from you, one whose origins are from the distant past."

Our house is decorated!

My Bible study group goes bowling!

Wedding!

Brent and Tori are married! It was a beautiful wedding on November 30th. Now there is another Mrs. Powell! We are so happy that God brought them together and we are excited that they will live here in Clarksdale. They are off to Antigua for their honeymoon.

We had a great Thanksgiving with the whole Powell family. Hunting, football and lots of food! What a blessing to be with loved ones and enjoy a huge feast - honey baked ham, scalloped potatoes, dressing, broccoli salad, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, butter beans, fried okra, purple hull peas, yeast rolls, pecan pie, sweet potato pie, chocolate chess pie, pecan cheesecake- whew!
