Merry Christmas
/ Autumn McKenzie JacksonHappy Holidays
Take a moment to slow down and cherish a special time with special people. I have been hosting Christmas Eve dinner for a long time. This year I sent out a spur of the moment open invitation to friends. If they were around and had time- they were invited to come join us. I love to eat! I love to cook! I love to give and share! And what better time than now. In the midst of a season of high expectation, remember- It’s not about what you did or did not get.
Tory Palecek is my best friend from college. I met Tory the first day of volleyball preseason freshman year at Colgate University. We were both incoming freshmen. She immediately made an impression on me.
This is my dad, Benjamin McKenzie. He is a handsome tall man. More often than not, you hear me talk about my mom. My mom was the outspoken one and it is easy to give her credit for most but that would be inaccurate.

Today is Audrey’s birthday. She is 14 years old. I must tell you about her! What an extraordinary young lady! In addition to being an excellent student, she plays the saxophone and is an excellent swimmer. She is beautiful…
What beautiful and impactful work you do that has generational and eternal significance!
Then she asked me about my wedding dress and if she could try it on. I told her tomorrow would have been our wedding anniversary.
The last post I wrote was nearly two years ago. I have been grieving, slaying giants, raising champions, and growing in faith.
The possibilities are endless. She is learning to hear from God. She knows that He has a plan and a purpose for her life. She has persevered through many things and her story of overcoming with help others.
