I wasn't able to find an Angel Tree this year. However, after talking to my study group, we decided to "adopt" two families for Christmas. I was assigned Collin, he's 10 years old. When these families are selected to be made available for Christmas "adoption" the children are asked to make a list of Christmas gifts they would like to receive. To me, it sounds a lot like asking Santa for gifts, but instead of going in one ear and out the other, these kids will have a shot at actually getting the things they want for Christmas. So, you can call me Santa, Collin. It's crystal clear I have not been hanging around with many 10 year old boys lately. I'd like to share Collin's list. Any insight into what the heck some of these things are will be appreciated.

Yikes!!! I know what pajama pants are. I'm fairly clear on Connect 4, however the Sponge Bob thing has me a bit baffled. Everything else is a mystery to me.
I'm very happy to be able to adopt Collin this Christmas. I hope he has a wonderful Christmas morning and feels the love. I have to have the gifts purchased and wrapped by Monday, so there is that pressure (I'm going to AC for the weekend). But, all in all, I'm loving it. So far this Christmas is turning out to be one of the best, EVER.
My tree is up. My house has lights on the outside. I bought ingredients for one type of cookies, but I'll make four batches for gifts. I'm anticipating the coming of my King. Today I read about Jesus being the servant of all. In Mark's gospel, Jesus took a child in his arms and told his disciples whoever received a child in his name would receive him, and the one who sent him. Today, I will focus on being a servant. The first person I will serve is Collin. He's 10 years old.
