This Christmas season feels more Californian than Canadian (12C/52F). It’s wet but not white.

We are hoping to have our three kids (and new daughter-in-law Jenny) with us for Christmas. Michael’s flight from NYC was cancelled today due to fog; he’ll try again tomorrow.

Linda and I want to extend our Christmas greetings to each of you. May all of our hearts rejoice as we celebrate the good news of great joy—a Saviour has been born for us (Luke 2:10-11). Now the ancient words spoken by Isaiah can become a reality for all of us who trust in Christ: “though your sins are like scarlet they shall be white as snow” (Isaiah 1:18).

Merry Christmas,

Rick and Linda
