Love is in the air!

Don't you just love it when we start getting close to Valentine's Day! Boy I do. First because my favorite color is RED (Go Wolf pack!) and I love chocolate! It is also a time of year that we focus on those we love. I don't know if it's because I'm getting old or if it's because of the way things are in the world right now but I'm sure getting mushy! I just feel like it so important that we focus on people and not so much on things. I am so blessed to have a wonderful family and great friends and I know I take people for granted. Now, I am going to make every effort to "see" people and not see through them. Several things have pointed me to this lately. First, over the holidays I watched the movie "The Notebook" again and cried for an hour! That movie makes me cling to Buck for days. That one and PS I Love you! Chick flicks but I love them! Second, my co-worker has gone through so much lately that it just breaks my heart for her. Her fiance died of a massive heart attack and now she's found out her cancer has returned and she has to have surgery and radiation. She says she feels alone and is scared. I am trying to be there for her.

Its so easy to get complacent when everything is good in your life. It only takes a second to change your life forever. I'm Reading the book Heaven is real by Don Piper. He also wrote 90 minutes in heaven. Great books and they make you think about these things. Well, didn't mean to ramble on but just had this on my heart.

I wanted to check to see if anyone has seen any concerts coming up or any other events they want to go to. if so, let me know 704-689-8063 or shbuchan@duke-energy.com.

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year! Wow I can't believe that it is 2009! Thanks to everyone that went with us to Hickory Grove for the Christmas program. It was very good. We will meet on January 9th at 6:30 at Joyful Noise for dessert, coffee, fellowship and planning time. Please look and see if there are any events you would like to go to in 2009. Also bring with you ministry ideas that we might can do this year. I am excited about our women's ministry and all that is in store for us this year. Great things have already been planned for "Girlfriends" that you will hear about soon. Please be praying that we will have great participation and that someone will come to know Jesus just because we showed them the love of Jesus! Looking forward to seeing you and hope you had a wonderful Christmas!!
