Happy New Year - 2009

Well, 2009 is here & I haven't posted anything in quite awhile. A few things have changed:
the grandkids have all gotten a year older & from our vantage point quite smarter than they were last year! Of course, we are a little prejudice! Serena is homeschooling all 3 of the kids and life is interesting at the Kleppinger home - but God is good to them as they continue to be obedient! At the Ardrey household, there are changes happening as well. They have moved furniture around & lost office space to make room for a new addition to their family who will be arriving in April! Of course, that is making quite an excited stir among the rest of us - the thought of having a baby around again is really special! At the Shaffer home, things really don't seem to change much except that there seems to just be much more of the same of everything we have to do! That makes for 2 very tired & sometimes worn out Pastor's, but God is good as He always is! An old saying goes, "The only ones who like change are babies", however, as long as we keep trusting Him - change doesn't matter - because He never changes & that is ALL that matters! May you hold on to the ONLY thing that matters this new year as things around you keep changing - for JESUS will NEVER change!
