Howdy to everyone this morning. For all of the fellow officers out there in the xanga world I hope kettles are running well with no major problems. It's amazing how much money can be raised through such a simple set up. All is well in the Dohmann household thus far. We are all getting ready to go Christmas shopping. We figured we better start now since its only 3 weeks away. For any of you that just can't figure out what to get me for Christmas, I guess I would be satisfied with a JET-SKI. (Wishful thinking right) Anyways I better go and start getting myself ready. Pray that we don't overspend, because it is so easy to do during this time of the year. I'm going to copy Patrick on my ending! Peace, love & white chocolate covered OREO'S.

Well I hope everyone had a blessed Sunday and your body's are all rested-up for another week. The Advent service went well this morning, and marks a first for Sanford since we did not have programs during this time last year. The Lord Has Blessed Us Time and Time Again! Thank You Lord! Well with our first week of kettles behind us, the fear of not getting enough support do to hurricane donations are gone. Just in two days we are about $5,000 ahead than the first two days of last year. It's amazing how we worry ourselves over things that God has already taken care of. As we prepare to do our Christmas Joy (Angel Tree) distribution in two weeks, I stand amazed of the generosity of Lee County, NC. Last year we had over 100 bikes and were able to provide toys for over 500 children. This year we will be able to give gifts for more than 700 children. What a blessing from God! Even though Thanksgiving day is over and gone, we must make everyday Thanksgiving with out all of the turkey, ham, dressing, and potatoes. God has blessed us in so many different ways. I'm blessed to have a wife and son who not only love me, but have an amazing love for the Lord. I love my Lord, my Wife, and my Son with all of my Heart. May you find something to be thankful for on this day! Have a blessed evening! 

Happy Thanksgiving!
