In Kenya when you haven’t seen someone for a while, you might say upon encountering them again, “You have been so lost.”
And I have been.
But I’m back to wish my faithful (???) readers a Happy December. Last year here in Milwaukee we had a blizzard on the 1st of December. This year the new month has brought with it a lovely wintry mix, i.e. snow and stinging ice pellets driven by 25 mph winds into one’s face. It was a perfect day to play football. Truly it was a fun time, because of the following combination of factors:
December. Snow. A Saturday afternoon. A pick-up football game with good friends.
What more could you ask for?
(Perhaps me, actually blogging more than 5 times a month, ala November? I’ll be working on it.)
Made for Eternity 
Welcome back. We heard from your parents via their monthly letter today. It looks like they will escape the wintry mix we northeners are experiencing for awhile when they are in North Carolina. We did not have church this AM with six inches of snow and now the predicted freezing rain has arrived just at our bed time. We do look forward to seeing you and siblings at Christmas time on the 28th at Uncle Mark’s. The Jayhawks won over no.22 Sou. Cal today. Marquette is doing all right, too. My postponed message will be given D. V. next week — “Is Jesus the Messiah?” Much love to my K V O
