CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS be unto you and yours my friends! May your Christmas joy reach out to others in need. May your prayers and example of Christ bring the meaning of Christmas into the hearts of others. May your thirst be not for the things of this world, but, for Holiness and Righteousness. May you abound in faith, never waning. May you live to serve others, living as a worthy vessel of God. As we celebrate the Season, may none of us ever forget that it is not about us or things, it is about our connecting to God through Jesus! Now and forevermore. Amen.


your servant and soldier, united with the One
