Hey, all, quick post – we’re doing a Christmas special to support our adoption of Noah. Our Christmas card CDs are marked way down to $35 for 10 which is less than you might pay for a regular card in the store and these have a 3-song Christmas CD tucked inside! Also, for every physical order of a full-length CD or book this Christmas, we’re going to send you a free Christmas CD! And if you download an album, we’ll send you a free download of my Christmas single “Christmas is Forever.” So head over to the store and help us get Noah home!

Speaking of my Christmas single, it’s been really fun to see how many stations have picked that up this Christmas season – we’re on about 60 stations right now that we know of. Feel free to call your station and request the song – that helps more than you know!

And I also had an article come out in Crosswalk.com this week called “5 Ways to Put the Spirit of Thanksgiving Into Christmas” – you can check that out here!

Orchard Hill’s Women’s Christmas Brunch, just a while ago

Just got back from a couple of days in Pittsburgh. That’s always fun now, because one of my brothers, Mike, and his family moved to Pittsburgh a while back, so it’s always good to get to see them!

Thursday I was back at Cornerstone Television Network to be on their show “Real Life.” I’ve been on several shows produced by Cornerstone, and it was great to be back! They’ve redone all their sets and they looked great! I sang a couple of songs and had an interview about my book and also about our upcoming adoption of Noah, our reasons for choosing to adopt, and God’s faithfulness to us through the whole process. It was a great morning and will air next week. Afterwards my mom and I went down to the strip and had lunch at Pamela’s so you really can’t do better than that. 🙂

We spent some time with Mike’s family and then on Saturday I had a women’s Christmas brunch for Orchard Hill Church. I did this event for them about 5 years ago, and it was just spectacular – I love working with their women’s ministry director, Kay. They have such a heart for outreach, and that is my favorite part of this event – it’s women inviting their moms and sisters and neighbors, and I get to share the love of Christ with them. So fun! Somehow we forgot the camera this time, but since it was in the same ballroom with the same layout, I’m just putting up the picture from last time – add about 50 people or so and make my hair longer (not that you can see it anyway!), and you’ll have it. 🙂
