• The Feast of the Epiphany

  it is the end not only of our vacation, school starts bright and early Monday morning, but also of the Christmas season.  Today we celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany, the time when the Christ Child was made manifest to the gentiles in the persons of the Magi.  It is also a special day for us because the feast falls on Mary-Kate’s birthday.  Every few years this feast falls on the fourth of January and that is the day that we celebrate the birth of our beloved daughter.

  So this day we pray for the whole world that they will come to know, love and serve the King of Kings and Lord of Lords in the person of Jesus Christ.  And this family prays in a special way for Mary-Kate.  In thanksgiving for adding her to our family and also for her continued growth in wisdom age and grace before the Lord.

  We love you MK and we always will.
