Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you’rehaving a good time and got all you wished for. We got out in the snow a little today when we went to dinner at the Drapes with other church members. It was a really good meal. The day took a lot out of me, I was pretty tired by the time I got home.

I spent most of the day thinking it was Christmas eve. I don’t know where my head was? I’m on track now though. Due to the snow we didn’t do much gift shopping so we’ll do all that when the weather clears.

Ericka has all of next week off. So we’ll have to find a way to fill our time. Shouldn’t be too hard. I’m slowly learning more about my music gear so that’ll keep me busy.

Church was snowed out last Sunday, I hope it clears up so we can get our corpt praise on.

God bless,

Frederick

Good day evryone! Christmas is upon us all and I’ve yet to buy a single gift for anyone. I had planned to go out today but the snow and ice has held that up. With me being out of work the past year and a half I won’t be doing much gift buying anyway. But I have a few bucks put away for the wife and kids.It’s really been a good yea other wise.

Today is Ericka’s 14th birthday. She got a couple cards with $$$ and a iPod from her brother Jerroold. It’s fun that her birthday is a week before Christmas. She really gets excited about it all.

If the weather isn’t too bad tomorrow I’ll do a little Chritmas shopping, like gift cards mostly. That’s the safe way to go I think.

This Sunday our church will have our annual Chritmas program. That should be good, special music and all. I won’t be playing guitar this year I’ll just kick back and enjoy the program. Hopefully the snow will clear up so we can have a good turnout.

eI have so much to be gratefull for this year. The love of my family my health isn’t getting any worse I’m really feeling stronger.

2008 seemed to fly by. My year was packed with all kinds of stuff. I’ve learned a lot about living with cancer. You just have to grab what you have with both hands and trust God as you go for it all. Quality of life on Chrits terms. Believe God not the enemy, not man, not your up and down feelings. The Lord has put saints in my life that are helping me enjoy life right where I’m at. Helps me to move beyond my circumstance and love the life the Lord has given me.

Hope the Lord blesses you with a great hoilday.

God bless,

Frederick

Goodmorning, 6:42. Just had some breakfast, couldn’t sleep in this Saturday. I’ll take a nap later. I feel real good after a long day yesterday. I spent some time at Eastside Academy Thursday for lunchon and an alumni basketball game. It was fun but took a lot out of me. So I came home and took a little nap. Then went to bed early last night.

I miss being at the school at times like this. Seeing the current kids and how good the past kids are doing. Who knows what the Lord has in store for me with EA and or Jubilee Reach in the future.

This weekend my plan is to record another song through another method since one of my devices’ is on the blink. I plan to go online to trouble shoot the problem in hopes of getting some help to get around the error. If I can’t I’ll get back into creating by just recording into my main machine.

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the fact that I may have to live with this cancer for years to come. That would serve me better than waiting to see what’s gonna happen. Just use this time living to the fullest. I’m surrounded by so much love and support, the Lord shows me that everyday, that it’s hard not to get motivated now a days. But at times I still need a little push.

Hope the Lord finds you well,

In Christ,

Frederick

Well it’s 6:45 am and I just finished my excerises getting ready for my day. I fnally got a new song started on the recorder and I’m eager to complete it. Right now it’s an instumental tune. Nice and mellow. I’ve got the drums and a couple guitar tracks plus a synt line recorded so far. I’ll work on recording more guitar some bass and maybe strings next.

I plan on walking the mall today, I was too tired to walk it yesterday. I feel like I have more energy this morning. Feeling pretty good.

My spirits have been up and down lately. Mostly up thank God. I have so much to be grateful for. I still have trouble with my balance so it’s hard to walk sometimes, but as long as I take my time it works out ok. Not being able to move like I used to can be discouraging at times, but I’m blessed any how.

I plan to do a little Christmas shopping next week. I haven’t been working so gift giving will be few and far between but the greatest gift of all, love, will be in full force.

Ericka might go to Baltimore for Christmas to stay with one of her aunties Diana’s sister Tina. That’ll be exciting for her. Her birthday is a week before Chrtismas she’ll be 14. So we’ll celebrate that with her and party it up a little. We like to make sure we separate the two for her.

Looks like it’s gonna be a blessed week. Enjoy.

Love to all in Christ Jesus

Frederick
