From My family to all of the Authors and Editors on BCTS, my family extends warm wishes during this holiday season. The season is blessed season to celebrats family and the joy we all have with family and remembering our LOrd Jesus Chirst whom graced us with love and acceptance as his children.

Over the last few months I have come to a personal crises in my life upon which I wish upon no other(s). I share this with countless others whom are survivors and recently being diagnosed. I have breast cancer, at 48 years of age I like others never expected that to happen. However, Ihave accepted it and awaiting treatments to remove the breasts. This I know will be a true testament to my strength and belief in prayer. I share this here as this is the place I wish to share this outside of my family and my work place. I have go to know some of you via email or the stories that you have written. I take strength in some of what is written. I am often remided of my friend who recently passed away after struggling with her own failing health and the strength she garnered from prayer and surrounding herself with friends. I take comfort in knowing that I hope that I have friends here as well, even though I am not on here as much lately as I am recovering from some serious tests and preparing for my upcomming surgery.

May the season Bless each and every one of you in love and kindness that carries throughout 2010. God Bles you all

Melanie Dixon, Amanda and Frank

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all
