Merry Christmas 2009 from Rod & Jan Farthing & Family!

Christmas 2009

Dear Family and Friends,

Here we are at the end of another year. We have been blessed in so many ways, and we praise God for His goodness. Now that Rodney is 60 (yep, he is) we're truly in the "seniors" bracket. We are down to having an "only child" at home. So where did the year go? Here are a few highlights:

Rodney spoke 75 times for ARM Prison Outreach www.arm.org, driving to 53 different locations in 7 states, including 2 camps and 4 conventions. The kids and Jan traveled less this year, though they were along for the camps and conventions and a few extra locations. When Joy and Ryan left for college, Jan and Julia went along with Rodney about once a month. Rodney teaches Bible Study at church on Wed. nights. He continues as senior hospice chaplain for Phelps Regional Hospice based in Rolla. He serves as district 8 coordinator for the Constitution Party of MO. rodfar@arm.org

Jan continues as wife & mom, teacher (only 1 student now), ARM appointment secretary, Dent Co. home school coordinator, 4-H project leader, mentor for ex-prisoners/families, children's teacher at church, and substitute manager for the clothes closet at church (when Joy's not home.) jan@arm.org

Randa (36) and Muncher and Nebraska welcomed Kinlee Carene on Feb. 9. She is SO like her mom. Some pics bring flashbacks of days gone by. She is growing well and may soon pass her big sis. Nebraska is now 3 and ahead of the curve on her academics. She still deals with weak lower body strength so is not yet walking alone, but is doing well holding on. Randa continues her Down Syndrome blogging community. www.justrk.blogspot.com She loves - and is quite good at - creating backgrounds for people's blog sites, not to mention the encouragement she can offer to new moms of children with Down Syndrome. Muncher is still with the IT dept. of St. Charles County. braskasmom@gmail.com

Jody -- Dr. Joel Farthing, DVM (33) -- is in his own clinic with his partner Nick Lindsay. O'Fallon Veterinary Medical Clinic is in full swing. Stop by and see him if you're in the STL area.  http://www.ofallonvmc.com/about_us/vets/  Skye continues as an auditor with St. Charles County. DocJoel@gmail.com

Rachel (29) married Patrick Donlan in May. Rachel is still in administration with St. Luke's Hospital. Patrick represents The Hartford investment company in the Mutual Fund division. They live in St. Charles while they are saving and house hunting. stlrachel@aol.com

Joy (20) is at St. Louis Christian College and enjoys being there. She is taking the general classes for freshmen. She will be home Dec. 19 for semester break. She works in the school cafeteria. She also continues to care for the church clothes closet and volunteers at the Ozark Natural and Cultural Resource Center in Salem when she is home. godzlilgirl89@yahoo.com

Ryan (18) is at Oklahoma Christian University in OKC and loves it, achieving a 4.0 GPA. He works maintaining computers in the school library and helps with their web site. He is working towards a ministry major and a computer minor. He also enjoys creating videos. His most recent IS at

Julia (14) is now finding out what it's like to be an only child. She is doing 8th and 9th grade work this year, desiring to graduate in 2013. She is playing girls' basketball with the Rolla Royals. She continues to be in 4-H and does art, horse, and photography. She won a lot of ribbons at the Dent County Fair in August, including 4-H Best of Show for a horse painting.

Our prayer is for each of you to have a wonderful family time celebrating Our Savior and days of God's blessings in the New Year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Love from all of us to all of you!

The Farthings
