Ilove a good nap any time of the year, but winter naps are my favorite! When it is a cold, snowy, wind-blowing day outside and I just finished shoveling or blowing the snow off the driveway, sidewalks, and porches, all of the activity increases my desire to take a nap.

Ever notice how when children are in church with their parents, how much better it is?I have! Some one said that the church that is not crying is dying. Even if there are times when they don’t behave and get loud, I want to see them there. I can handle it without a problem.
