On Sunday Hannah made her acting and singing debut in the church Christmas program.<\/strong> She played a lowly shepherd(ess), and took part in a group song about baby Jesus. Interestingly enough, this year Hannah was the youngest and was about a head shorter than anyone else on stage, so of course she got lots of attention. \ud83d\ude42 In our totally unbiased opinion she did a fine job. She enjoyed it too, and spent quite a bit of time on Monday dressing up like a shepherdess and taking care of her sheep (whose name is Fluffles).<\/p>\n

Oddly enough, yesterday morning I woke up with pain in my back and neck. Today it’s much worse, so it looks like I will have to spend some time off my feet today. That might have been my problem – both Sunday and yesterday I spent a lot of time on<\/i> my feet, busy as a bee. Of course, bees fly a lot and so stay off their feet, but I didn’t. Anyway, I guess I’ll have to try to force myself to rest today…ok, for part of the day. Things like this really make me appreciate all of you who have constant back pain. Of course, as thankful as that makes me, the pain is still pretty bad! \ud83d\ude09 And it is frustrating to be forced to take a break when you have so much to do. That’s a lesson I’ve had to learn with my migraines, but perhaps I still have some distance to go before I’ve mastered it!<\/p>\n

Anyway, sitting here has been a little too much pain as it is…just wanted to say hi to you all. Have a great day in the Lord, pain or no!<\/p>\n

Oh, by the way, there is a minor addition to our main Bitz & Bytez page – a “word of the day”.<\/b> That may not seem to exciting, but the word is based on how many times people have recently looked it up. In other words, it’s yesterday’s most looked for word at the OneLook dictionary online. It’s interesting to see what people are looking for. If you click on “Word of the Day” you can also see a list of the other most popular word searches. So you can not only increase your vocabulary, but also learn about current interests, culture and events. Check out the word of the day here!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
