I won’t have new content here until the 8th or 9th of January. My real job and work related to this are taking every moment I have - and I do want to spend some unencumbered time with my family over the next two weeks.

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas indeed, and a joyful, prosperous New Year!

Grace and peace to all,

Donald Sensing

PS - Unlike last New Year’s Eve, when Glenn Reynolds and I were forlornly exchanging emails while blogging until late evening, I will this N.Y.E. actually have a life. Please, Glenn, at least throw some confetti!

PPS - Our Marine son in Iraq will be out on missions over both Christmas and New Years. Please keep him and all our troops in your prayers. America has certainly supported them materially; Stephen told me that they have all been overwhelmed with boxes, so much in fact that he told us not to send anything until further notice.
