Please pray for my Mom.
As many of you know my mom in Greenville NC, is having her back surgery today as I write. Dad is still recovering from his open heart surgery
Please pray for my mother Billie Millar. She will be in the hospital about a week if all goes well. It will take about 6 months or so to get over it.

Merry Christmas "2007 The year of the singing tooth brush"
We had a great Christmas. We had a great turnout to our Christmas Eve candlelight service, it was in the mid 80's. It's still hard to get into the Christmas spirit as you sweat over a candle. We missed not having Brandon with us on Christmas this year but we are proud of him and Amy and we plan to go up to Dallas on the 31th.
Darla and Brittany got singing tooth brushes in their stockings this year. That was a big hit. The tooth brush plays music when you brush. Darla's plays Ricky Martin's "Living the vida loca" and Brittany's plays a Kelly Clarkson song.
We had Church members from the Spanish side of our church and our neighbors over for Christmas Dinner today. We had turkey, ham, and more food than we could eat. Our neighbor literally took a wheelbarrow of leftovers home.

I was not joking about the wheelbarrow of leftovers.Great Day!

Highlights from 2007
It’s really hard for me to believe that there are only 4 days until Christmas. Our family has gone through a lot of changes this year but that is the norm for mission life. As I look back over 2007 the highlights would be, Brandon and Amy’s wedding, the starting of the new Spanish speaking church in Paamul, and building our new mission home.

Brandon and Amy were married last Feb. They are now living in Dallas Brandon is working as an accountant with Grant Thornton and Amy is teaching school. They have just bought their first home in the Dallas area.
This is Ruben and the praise team in Spanish..... We launch this new church in April 2007...We launch the Spanish speaking church in Paamul. We have seen God changing lives through our worship services in Paamul and our small group. We believe God is going to use this group to make a big impact in 08….
We started building our house in August of this year and we hope to move in Monday.

7 more days until Christmas
Our daughter Brittany is coming in tomorrow to spend Christmas with us here in Mexico. We are planning to all to North Carolina on the 26th and then to Dallas to is our Son Brandon on the 30th. Only a few things to do before we are ready for this. We hope to start moving into our house on Wed. We are still not going to have water until Jan. but we need to go on and move in.
We are working on the gas, electricity and plumbing today.... We need your prayers that all this will come together today.
When you think of Christmas we think of Peace, or a silent night but the first Christmas was really not a silent night.
I like that new Randy Travis Song "LABOR OF LOVE"
It was not a silent night, there was blood on the ground
You could hear a woman cry in the alleyway that night on the streets of David's town
And the stable was not clean and the cobblestones were cold
And little Mary full of grace with tears upon her face had no mother's hand to hold
It was a labor of pain, it was a cold sky above
But for the girl on the ground in the dark with every beat of her beautiful heart
It was a labor of love
Noble Joseph by her side, No midwives to be found on the streets of David's town in the middle of the night
So he held her and he prayed, shafts of moonlight on his face
But the baby in her womb, he was the maker of the moon
He was the Author of the Faith that could make the mountains move
It was a labor of pain, it was a cold sky above
But for the girl on the ground in the dark with every beat of her beautiful heart
It was a labor of love
For little Mary full of grace, with tears on her face
It was a labor of love
It was not a silent night, on the streets of David's town
