Thanks
I'm not even sure where or how to begin…it's been a very interesting year to say the least. This town is amazing. I cannot believe how much support clients have given me. Thank you so much for that! Extreme Salon staff by far is the best group of girls I have ever had. Thank you to all of them. I'm truly blessed to have the parents that I have, I wouldn't be able to be where I am without them... most of all, my mother - she's my best friend! Thank you so much for being there 100% for me. I love you more than you know. I know what a true family is. Last but not least, my best friend, Casey and my babysitter/friend, Megan, I don't know what I would've done without you two. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you to everyone and I hope you ALL have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

DECORATE YOUR LIFE “And she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger …” - Luke 2:7
My mother (94) recalls a childhood memory of visiting her Grandmother Kuhlmeyer on Christmas Eve on a farm that still stands just outside of Centreville, MI. The Christmas tree did not go up until Christmas Eve. It was placed in the parlor behind a closed door. When the time was right, the door would open to a tree decorated with real lighted candles along with long strings of popcorn. One year Santa’s fur caught fire and had to be immediately doused with water. Decorating a tree is like decorating a life. Last year Americans spent nearly two billion dollars on cosmetics. That is a hunk of change. There is nothing wrong with trying to look nice. After all, isn’t “cleanliness next to godliness”? God has a different way of decorating a tree. He decorates it from the inside out. He sends the sunshine and rain and puts food in the earth so that the tree can develop and grow. Soon the leaves appear then blossoms and fruit. The Pharisees of Jesus’ time insisted on using the Christmas tree method … a law here … a regulation there … another ordinance to follow. Jesus told them they were going about it in the wrong way. Godliness and righteousness grow from the inside out. Little did the world know that when Mary wrapped her son in swaddling clothes (literally bandages that were held tightly together) that the greatest truth of all time would be the good news that Jesus can be born in our hearts by grace through faith. Thus, we sing “O holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us we pray; cast out our sin, and enter in, be born in us today.” You are welcome to join us for worship on Christmas Eve at 11:00 p.m. and again on Christmas morning at 11:00 a.m. A blessed Christmas to all from your friends at Otsego United Methodist Church, a church “where Jesus’ love is lived.” - Rev.

This youngster has plenty of energy, but he also has a calm, undemanding personality that helps him get along well with other dogs. Once he has burnt off some energy playing, he is happy to take a break by relaxing on a nice soft blanket. Big Gus has the sweetness and love of human company to be a great family dog. If you are a family that enjoys doing things and are looking for a four-legged companion to take along, look no further. Big Gus is your boy! Contact Canine Safe Harbor 269-375-2736.

Loss of Wife Now that I am gone, remember me with smiles and laughter. And if you need to cry, cry with our Son, Daughter, or Grandchildren who walk in grief beside you. And when you need me, put your arms around anyone and give them what you need to give to me. There are so many who need so much. I want to leave you something -something much better than words or sounds. Look for me in the people I’ve known or helped in some special way. Let me live in your heart as well as in your mind. You can love me most by letting your love reach out to our loved ones, by embracing them and living in their love. Love does not die, people do. So, when all that’s left of me is love, give me away as best you can.
