This year, I will keep Christmas as a light of hope for my heart, A holy sanctuary for my soul, A quiet blessing for my spirit. This year, I will keep Christmas far from frantic malls, Safe from hectic profit schemes, Apart from secular hype and stress. This year, I will keep Christmas content as baby slumber, Silent as angel presence, Peaceful as constant prayer. This year, I will keep Christmas as Emmanuel, God with me. Alive in me. This year, I will keep Christmas by being kept in Love, Peace, and Joy...

About Us
- Mary Jo and Ervin
- I am a wife, mother, and grandmother who finished a PhD at age 70. I am an active advocate for survivors of abuse, as demonstrated by my efforts as a founder of a local shelter, group facilitator, member of The Alliance to Recognize and End Abuse, which works at the local and state level for social justice. I am an active United Methodist member, but find much to ponder and consider in all religions. My daughter and I are interested in geneology, especially our link with Alexander Campbell, a Scot, who was sent from England prior to the Revolutionary War to influence the Cherokees to side with the British. He married a Cherokee woman and their daughter or granddaughter was my grandmother's grandmother...and interesting search! My friend, Sandy, has described me as a lady-like-changer-of-things.

This Year...
Christmas will be in my heart and not my past. I will make new memries to share with loved ones and friends. I'll thank God not rage at God, for giving me surivor skills to be here today. I'll Pray for others what I would want for myself each day this month. I'll be grateful for having what & who are in my life today and in the year to come.
