Shelly and I got to travel this week to visit our family.  We had some much needed downtime and quality time. It was a gift!!  I love my family.  I consider myself blessed with extra family in my life in different places.  God has been good to us.  Today, we head back to DC as we kick off our Christmas Theme, The Gift.  I always look forward to this time off year.  It provides great opportunity to influence.  Let's celebrate "the Gift" this season together as we bring back the "real reason for the season":)
