Hi Everyone!
First off, Merry Christmas! My heart goes out to all of my close friends who have lost loved ones this year and this is their first Christmas without them. When my dad died 5 years ago, I remember how hard it was for me and I want you to know that I am praying for you and your family as you get through this first major holiday without them.
Secondly, I'd like to share the good news!! No doubt, thanks to all your prayers and support, I've now resumed shooting at the Olympic Training Center three days a week. Praise God! I'm very excited to have the opportunity to continue my training with Coach Lee and thankful for the help of some very key people who made it possible.
Have a blessed Christmas and I'll be speaking with you soon. If you would like to be added to my New Year's card list, please email me your address at joyfahrenkrog@yahoo.com. I'm going to be sending out a little surprise with it.
Love in Christ!
Joy

Tribute to Jack Aborn
In the past five years, I've befriended hundreds of people within the archery community throughout the country and across the globe: archers, judges, coaches, parents of archers and Olympians. If I had a top 5 list, Jack Aborn would have been on it. Jack was, hands down, one of my absolute favorite archery people.
I first met Jack at ArcheryUSA in Dedham, MA in December of 2002 when I showed up for my first day of training in my new sport. From day one he believed that I would make the Olympic team and when things got tough along the way, he always lifted my spirits. When I moved from Boston to Florida to Illinois to Arizona to California, we always kept in touch.
One of Jack's favorite things to do was send me blonde jokes. I think he always felt it was his duty to keep me laughing, he knew how serious I was when I was competing and training. After I didn't make the Olympic team in 2004, Jack stepped up the humor a notch and started sending me every blonde joke that came his way. So, in an effort to help everyone who is suffering from the loss of this amazingly compassionate man feel a little better, I'm including many of his jokes below for your pleasure.
I'm am so very sad that he is gone, but incredibly happy that he was in my life. I thank God so much for such an amazing friend and confidant. I love you Jack!! The final words I'll leave you with are from a recent email that Jack wrote me "Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile."
JACK'S BLONDE JOKES (and then some other jokes):
My personal Favorite:
A blonde gets on an airplane and sits down in the first
class section. The stewardess tells her she must move to
economy because she doesn't have a first class ticket.
The blonde replies, "I'm blonde, I'm smart, I have a good
job and I'm staying in first class until we reach Jamaica."
The stewardess gets the head stewardess who asks the woman to leave and she says, "I'm blonde, I'm smart, I have a good
job and I'm staying in first class until we reach Jamaica."
The stewardesses don't know what to do because they have to
get the rest of the passengers seated to take off, so they
get the co-pilot.
The co-pilot goes up to the blonde and whispers in her ear.
She immediately gets up and goes to her seat in the economy
section.
The head stewardess asks the co-pilot what he said to get
her to move.
The co-pilot replies, "I told her the front half of the
airplane wasn't going to Jamaica."
SHE'S SO BLONDE THAT.....
She put lipstick on her forehead because she wanted
to makeup her mind.
SHE'S SO BLONDE THAT.....
When she heard that 90% of all crimes happened
around the home, she moved.
What do you call 9 blondes standing in a circle?
...A dope ring.
Son asked his mother the following question: "Mom, why are
wedding dresses white?"
The mother looks at her son and replies, "Son, this shows
your friends and relatives that your bride is pure."
The son thanks his Mom and goes off to double-check this
with his father. "Dad why are wedding dresses white?"
The father looks at his son in surprise and says, "Son,
all household appliances come in white."
Two blondes walk into a building,
You'd think at least one of them would have seen it.
Q. Did you hear about the blonde who shot an arrow into the air?
A. She missed.
A blonde's car gets a flat tire on the Interstate one day. So she eases it over onto the shoulder of the road.
She carefully steps out of the car and opens the trunk, takes out two cardboard men, unfolds them and stands them at the rear of the vehicle facing oncoming traffic.
The lifelike cardboard men are in trench coats exposing their nude bodies to approaching drivers...
Not surprisingly, the traffic became snarled and backed up. It wasn't very long before a police car arrives. The Officer, clearly enraged, approaches the blonde of the disabled vehicle yelling, "What is going on here?"
"My car broke down, Officer," says the woman calmly.
"Well, what the hell are these obscene cardboard pictures doing here by the road?" asks the officer.
"Helllllooooo, those are my emergency flashers!" she replied
A blind guy on a bar stool shouts to the bartender, "Wanna hear a blonde joke?"
In a hushed voice, the guy next to him says, "Before you tell that joke, you should know something."
Our bartender IS blonde, the bouncer is blonde. I'm a 6' tall, 200 lb black belt. The guy sitting next to me is 6'2", weighs 225, and he's a rugby player. The fella to your right is 6'5" pushing 300 and he's a wrestler. Each one of US is blonde. Think about it, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?"
The blind guy says, "Nah, not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times."
Q: Why are gingerbread men the best men of all?
A: They are cute. They are sweet. And if they give you any lip, you can bite their friggin' heads off.
Q Why do little girls whine?
A Because they're practicing to be women.
Hear about the blonde who...
* Was trapped on an escalator for hours when the power went out.
* Couldn't call 911 because there was no 11 on any phone button.
What's the difference between a blonde and a parrot?
You can teach a parrot to say No.
Hear about the blonde who...
* When asked what the capital of California was, answered "C."
* Can't make KoolAid because eight cups of water won't fit into
one of those little packets.
Hear about the blonde who... Got hurt when she fell out of the tree while raking leaves.
Why are there no blonde ranchers?
They can't keep their calves together.
WHAT DO YOU CALL GOING ON A BLIND DATE WITH A BRUNETTE?
Brown-bagging it.
WHAT DO YOU CALL A BRUNETTE IN A ROOM FULL OF BLONDES?
Invisible.
WHY IS THE BRUNETTE CONSIDERED AN EVIL COLOR?
When was the last time you saw a blonde witch?
WHAT DO BRUNETTES MISS MOST ABOUT A GREAT PARTY?
The invitation
KNOW WHO INVENTED BLONDE JOKES?
Brunettes, they had nothing better to do on Friday or Saturday nights
What is the difference between a battery and a woman?
A battery has a positive side.
