Today started with worship at our church in Zagreb, with me preaching. I preached on, “Home for Christmas: Awaiting the Second Advent.” After church was Christmas Eve lunch with friends from church, who are also neighbors of mine, Boris and Ana Medved. Joining us for lunch were new friends visiting from Australia, Victor and Emma. Then this afternoon was the first round of Christmas cookie baking with the Karadža (friends from church and co-workers at the Bible Institute) family’s kids. When in the USA for Christmas, I usually bake cookies with my nieces and nephews, so the Karadža kids were good substitutes this year. We had a good time together.
