Whenever I'm with Leslie on her Sabbath, I attend church with her. It's our thing. Today was a particularly timely message.

Leslie is pretty important in her church and led a great deal of the Christmas program. I was impressed!


After a morning of good message and song, we went home for lunch with Steve and then headed to Bakersfield for more Christmas.
Together, the three of us took a Walk Through Bethlehem where we encountered the sights, the sounds, the customs, and even the smells of what 1st century Bethlehem might have been like. What a super cool way to spend a Saturday night. 
This was so well done. We had the opportunity to experience the arrogant Roman Guards, the devious tax collector, the hard-working basket weavers, the talented metal workers, and the various citizenry.






Lastly, we were introduced to the Reason for the Season. This was a well done production that allowed us to learn a little about the past while being surrounded by some very loving people. Definitely a unique for us (and fun) last night on our SoCal sojourn.
