An Alexander Chr!stmas from Colorada!!

Our friends from CO sent us a little Chr!stmas love, including Chr!stmas suckers, Cap'n Crunch's Chr!stmas Crunch, Chr!stmas sprinkles, Chr!stmas snack cakes, Chr!stmas Milky Ways, and Chr!stmas ornaments (as well as some other things that weren't as Chr!stmasy)! We had a great time going through and pulling out so many reminders of home (except Cap'n Crunch Chr!stmas Crunch ... who knew?!??!). Thanks Mark, Susan, Grant, and Cara for sending some love our way. We're so glad we got to spend a little time with you last May before leaving!

Noah's friend, who just recently moved from the U.S., was here when we opened it ... and got as equally excited over the mac/cheese as our kids did!

Susan Alexander said...: We're SO glad you finally got it. According to the USPS you should've received it prior to Christmas but Mark says hey you never know what happens to the package once it leaves the US!!! We love you guys! Glad the stuff made it intact and not in a million pieces!; January 15, 2010 at 3:59 PM

Favorite Quotes:

"The world is not our place of rest; it is a time of work and follow hard after Je$us. When we get home, we can rest. But for now, G*d is calling His children to share the gospel of the cross, the power of our Holy Father; it's time we obediently follow Him. May we all live our lives in a manner worthy of the calling we have received in Chr!st Je$us. May we live lives we will never regret." -- FACING TERROR, Carrie McDonnall

"Great advances in demonstrating the B!ble's relevance rarely come from the restless minds of marketers. They come from people who dare to obey what they read. ...On the cruel edges of the world, there is no need for elaborate explanations to bring a distant b!blical text closer to our lives. Rather, when we go to the cruel edges of the world, we bring our lives closer to the text." --Andy Crouch, Chr!stianity Today
"...because I know that my Father knows, and I am going to watch and see how He unravels this thing." -- Oswald Chambers, MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST
"TAKE WHATEVER YOU WANT TO TAKE. TAKE YOUR PIANO, YOUR APPLIANCES, AND ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO TAKE. BUT TAKE THEM IN YOUR HANDS. IF THEY EVER GET INTO YOUR HEART, YOU ARE THROUGH AS A M." -- Dr. Baker James Cauthen, exec. sec. of the company, 1962.
“Lay it all on the altar – your life, your family, your comforts – and count it joy that you have the privilege of serving Him, and you’ll have the song in your heart." -- Jerry Rankin, company President
To watch her suddenly get the fact that the B!ble is not just some archaic, out-of-touch religious guide for freaks but the living, powerful Word of Truth that will speak right into the home, workplace, and romance is what I live to see.--Beth Moore
