Christmas was really lovely at our house this year. Everyone was here, including our newest grandson, Tyler-Andrea's husband. We sang Christmas carols, Nicole (Nick) honored us with her/his rendition of "O Holy Night". Her/his age is beginning to show, because the song had to be pitched lower. Tom read the ever new Scripture about the birth of our Saviour, the reason that we celebrate in the first place. Everyone was happy with the gifts, especially the Gift Cards! And the meal was superb. I didn't have to do a thing! Everyone else did all the work.
Now, we look forward to the New Year. Once again, we say, "Where did 2007 go?!" Time keeps marching on, and we come closer and closer to the time when we will be at home with our Lord. Meantime, let us live our lives in such a way that He is glorified and His work is furthered.
The book I wrote about Ed's last eight years finally came out two weeks ago. It is available on Amazon.com or by contacting Judson University- wanderson@judsonu.edu The title is Do Not Go, My Love: An Odyssey of Eight Years with Stroke and Dementia. I am praying that it will be of help to some people who are experiencing what we went through.
May I wish you all a very wonderful New Year, full of God's blessings.

I'm Home!
Yes! It's true! I'm at home now and have been here for three days. I'm beginning to get out of the "invalid mode" and be more independent. It is good to be home after not even seeing it for over two months. I'm sleeping better, too.
I want to thank all of you for your prayers and best wishes for my recovery. In many ways my recovery is somewhat of a miracle. God has been so good to me and my family. The time at Sherman West Court nursing facility was just the right thing for me. It literally "got me on my feet" so that I can walk and have much better control of my leg muscles. I had Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy as well. One thing I'm working on very hard is to loosen my right jaw muscle. I have a device called a TheraBite which helps with this. I must be faithful in this, or I won't be able to open my mouth very wide.
We received our first copy of my book, Do Not Go, My Love: An Odyssey of Eight Years with Stroke and Dementia. The book will be in some of the Christian Bookstores. Amazon.com can handle it, but they may be slow in getting the book out.Borders Books will be able to get it also. A better way might be to contact Warren Anderson at wanderson@judsonu.edu
I am hoping that this book will be of help to people who are going through similar circumstances.
I pray God's blessing on you.
In His Great Service, Alice
