Just a quick note to let you know that we will be taking down the workshop recordings from the Creative Living and Learning Conference held this past February, at the end of June. If you participated in the conference and haven't had a chance to download the workshops you wanted to listen to, please do so right away. If you have some speaker suggestions for the next Creative Living and Learning Conference, please feel free to contact us and give us those suggestions along with any others that you might have based on your participation this past year. Information about the 2010 Creative Living and Learning Conference will be coming out shortly. Faith and Courage, Lori Lane |

As I type, the house is soooo quiet. I have one child sick and the other child taking advantage of the opportunity that a sick sibling brings for watching movies and classic programs. There is chicken and rice in the oven; a dozen roses from Valentine's Day sitting on the counter; a cup of hot tea by my side; a partially built of a medieval village on the kitchen table and coats and gloves scattered in various places throughout the house.....

We had such an awesome Christmas season. It was one of those picture perfect ones! Yet, now that all the "extras" have left (this morning), I find myself sitting and basically staring at the walls. It's so awesome to have adult children and the time with them is priceless but it is still hard when everyone goes their separate ways and we all have to get back to the business of "real" life.
Our holidays were spent skiing and eating and playing games! We enjoyed a beautiful Christmas Eve service and a fresh white Christmas morning for the second year in a row! The week prior to Christmas week, John and I celebrated our 25th anniversary in Hawaii and had the time of our lives. I didn't know where we were going until a few weeks before the trip but John had planned it almost a year in advance. It couldn't have been better and was another one of those priceless times. I'm so grateful for the family God has blessed me with.
As I type, Jordan is running the vacuum cleaner as we try and get the house back into "normal" mode. (if there is such a thing! HA!) He's gotten much more accomplished today than I have but somehow I know that the work will still be waiting for me tomorrow when I wake up......and try and get back into the swing of things...including school!
2009 is here! WOW! It's hard to believe! I made it to about 10 p.m. our time......made sure the "ball" had dropped on the east coast and then headed off to bed. What a party pooper I am! Lots of skiing had worn me out and of course lots of cooking too. I had a total of 6 men plus me in the house...which meant we went through ALOT of food over the past couple of weeks.
Usually I spend New Year's Eve Day kind of evaluating the past year and planning for the coming year. However, this time, I think that evaluating and planning had come a little earlier in the fall....and so, with the exception of once again trying to get in shape, I enter this year continuing on the path that I feel like God has put me and has put our family on over the past year of 2008 and prior. I decided not to get all worked up about the "New Year" and to just keep on keeping on with a renewed energy and vision.
God is good....all the time........every year.....of our lives and I'm excited to see His faithfulness again throughout the year 2009.
Our December/January newsletter will be up on this site in the next few days so be sure to watch for it. It has lots of great info in it.
Faith and Courage,
Lori Lane
