[Petra-JohnSchlitt] Merry Christmas! ...from John

[John Schlitt / Petra Official Mailing List]

Merry Christmas everyone! I love this season - what a fantastic time where
even the world recognizes our Lord Jesus Christ!

We are very, very busy - both Bob and I, and my producer and I with my
solo record. We're in the studio as we speak and I'm getting really
excited about the music I'm hearing. It' s just been a good month for me,
and I'm very happy about it!

Thank you so much for all your prayers that have been going in my
direction. I know you've been praying - I can feel it. My family and I
thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.

Bob and I thank you too; I know that there has been prayer for the
adventure we've been in - and we're loving it!

It's just nice to know that we have family out there that cares about us;
once again Bob and I are getting the chance to see you all out on the road
- that's been a very pleasant thing for us.

As far as my real estate venture - it's not going that great because I
just don't have time - which is a great problem to have! I'm doing a
little bit of woodwork on my own house, doing some catch-up stuff....

Other than that, I just love this season and I praise God for it. I hope
that everyone is having a wonderful holiday time, and for all of us that
are going through hard times - and really, there are times when I'm not
quite so full of joy either - but we have to remember just to trust God,
to give it to Him. He wants to take care of us, and I want to be an
encouragement here for you: we have a Lord who loves us, who cares for us
and has a plan for each one of us. We just have to find out what that is.

So again - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! And I will talk to you all
again in about a month.

God bless you all!
