"And on the lawn there arose such a clatter..."

Last night I got the very best Christmas gift of my entire lifetime. Lance Borders of the Palmetto Health Cath Lab came up with the idea of coming by our house and singing Christmas carols. This plan was expanded to include members of Hope Lutheran Church, and folks from the South Carolina Heart Center, Steve Longaker from Biotroniks and Jerry Reed from Ela. When I was told that I should take a look outside I saw a sea of lit candles and the familiar faces of my most beloved freinds. The group sang for nearly half and hour while Cindy, Lydia, Austin and I stood and enjoyed the music. Afterwards, there were lots of hugs, and then the gifts began to pour into our living room. I am still amazed at the expression of love that has been shown to me and my family. God bless each and every one of you!

Hey, Mack I just created my account. We're going to lunch now. The equipment is in, we just have to do some programing, though. Talk to you later.

Hi Mack,

I hope you had a good Christmas. Let me know when you want a barn-raising for all the kids toys. Me and Jakkie send our love. Let us know if you need anything before going to Charleston.
