Finishing prep for the day; Christmas concert tonight – almost finished with 09 Capranica Clan DVD. Not sold in stores anywhere. # The concert went great tonight-enjoyed seeing many there invited by our members-praying the opportunity bears fruit. # I uploaded a YouTube video — Year in Review http://youtu.be/GVj8IUfkp2k?a # I uploaded a YouTube video — Fun@Home.m4v http://youtu.be/khU9txYx-ws?a # US Senate passes sweeping health bill (AFP) http://bit.ly/5zXcWt # Had a great time with friends from church this evening-fabulous dinner, fun fellowship, grateful for the blessings that come with the gospel # Time to sip my wife’s brilliant Christmas wassail and put the kids new gift together.
