Merry Christmas!

Well, we've made it through the first semester! Exams wrapped up earlier today and the campus is eerily quiet. Folks are preparing for trips out of town and visits with loved ones. Little ones are anxiously awaiting Santa's arrival. It is an exciting time of year!

It is my prayer that your Christmas be filled with happiness and cheer, and that the time away allows you to focus not only on those who are so important to you, but also on the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

From all of us here at Trinity, may you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

See you in 2010!
