I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Mackley Christmas Dinner

I didn't get as many pictures as I wish I would have,
but we had a really fun night.
We had our traditional Cordon Blue.
This year we had 30 people in my Mom's dining room and kitchen.
It was very crowded but we all enjoyed each other's company.
Everyone was there!

Well,
except you Colby.
We sure missed you....
