sv. mikuláš


it is officially advent.  i feel behind in just about everything and have this feeling that i'm constantly attempting to catch up on everything...including my blogging, so in honor of deň svätého mikuláša (st. nicholas day, for you non-slovak speakers), here's what's been going on in the office today (among getting all of our work done, of course):

i, of course, knew sv. mikuláš would come, so i wore 
the closest thing i have to a sv. mikuláš tie: my santa claus tie

our ministry coordinator did leave her shoes out, as is the custom...

and was pleasantly surprised to find goodies in her shoes!

in addition to all of that, i was blessed to receive 
a wonderful christmas card in the mail from lstc

this afternoon i'm doing a devotion for the metro lutheran ministry christmas store volunteers.  the christmas store serves 800-900 households in kansas city (over 2,500 people) with important and helpful things, cookies, and all sorts of wonderful things i take for granted every day (such as a blanket to sleep under).  good ministry, somehow i think sv. mikuláš would be happy about what's going on.  i am simply blessed to be able to serve!
