Thanksgiving

Oh my how how busy the Norris' have been. We are all five living in a different place which makes it difficult for the holidays. I flew into DFW for Thanksgiving where Terry and Megan picked me up and we left for Oklahoma City to spend Thanksgiving at Cassandra's. Deena drove up the next morning. Terry, Megan and I left for home on Friday afternoon and I flew back on Saturday to Corpus Christi. Working for the Church during December is a busy busy time! Wonderful but busy.

I got word that Randy Maples had a heart attack and died. Randy was one of those people who loved God, loved his Church and the people. Randy was a friend, and I'll miss him. I decided that I had to go back to say goodbye. So I left Monday at noon to drive into Coppell (7 hrs.). Made it into town with 20 minutes to spare for the family night at the funeral home. Megan came in the next morning just in time for the funeral and then we left for Corpus Christi early Thursday morning.

FBC Portland had a drive through Christmas Village Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and I was the person at then exit who thanked them for coming and took the narrative cd back so that we could recycle. We had close to 600 cars come through and hear about the light of the world and His birth. It was awesome. Then we had an activity either at the church or a church function all the next week. Megan commented that for being a slow paced and layed back community, we have sure kept busy!
