Christmas, Christmas



It's beginning to look like Christmas..Already been to a Ladies Fast where we study Scriptures and write a letter to God with what we want to see before next year..mostly relationships and salvation for my loved ones. Hoping to go to Phoenix for Christmas. There won't be snow on the ground but the weather should be great. Palm trees, swimming pools, farming, warm weather and tons of malls will be what I will look forward to there. At home in Vanderwagen it's been 5 degrees waking up in the morning. We've had no hot water for three weeks and hoping to get the part before too long. There are two cats and two dogs that can all rest in the same room around the wood stove.

There is a sense of change in the air..for me? for my family? I don't know yet but I'm anticipating something good. "Christmas, Christmas, hear the angels sing" from one of my own songs is looking forward to the time when Jesus will return. "Oh, the joy of seeing our Lord with the angels in one accord". There is so much just junk at the stores. It's hard to buy presents this year because my pockets are empty but my heart is big. I'm hoping the funds will arrive in time to put some smiles on my kid's faces. My kids range from 28 to 36 and still they're kids. I know it's not the presents but it is in my heart to give something that my kids need and now I have two new daughters-in-law. They are a blessing. Well, if I don't post anything in a while...MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR To you all and GOD BLESS US ALL. Pray for our troops that they'll come home soon.

THE 1982 DENVER BLIZZARD

This story is about the trip we took to see my mom at Christmas, 1982. She lived in Evans, Colorado and we lived in Page, Arizona. We had decided to take our four sons in our Dodge van not knowing what the weather had in store. We packed several bags, blankets, water and our cosmetic case for what we though was a two or three day vacation. We were supposed to be at my mom’s house Christmas Eve. We left Page and drove toward Kayenta, Arizona and onto New Mexico. We started toward Raton and hit a huge snow storm. Just outside of Raton, the winds were severe. Our engine died just outside of town. With ropes my husband tied himself to the front of the van and checked the motor. He said the guys that serviced our car didn’t put the lid back right and the carburetor, situated in the center of the air filter, was iced up. So we poured through our cosmetic bag and found some men’s cologne. We both knew that alcohol would deice the carburetor. The van started up and we pushed forward. It was s

NOT SO KEEN HALLOWEEN

Halloween is not really a holiday It’s more like our countries malady. It gives credit to witches and devils. Too much that’s sinister and evil. Take a look at its very beginning Are you afraid you’d be sinning? To bring to light Satan’s one desire but he will end up in hell’s hot fire. God says to love only Him above all the idols, the orange décor in the hall. It gives Him no glory can’t you see? Wearing masks won’t set you free. Satan calls this day his sacred one, telling children to play and have fun, to dress like his demons and death for fear of losing their very breath. Why does America make such a fuss over witches and skeleton’s ugliness, to make it a bigger day than Easter? It should bring us shame each year. So what should Christians try to do? The Truth has set us free. Has He you? Celebrate Jesus. He gave us salvation. Lift Him up, not our true enemy Satan. Whatever you decide on this dark night, glorify God in the earth, in men’s sight. We are not of this world. God is
