Welcome as I write the blog on this cold and wintry December morning.
It is my hope that you had a wonderful Christmas at your house. I know for me personally, it was a very nice Christmas. Jan, Angela, me and my Mother-in-law, Bea had a wonderful few days together. We had great holiday foods and lots of fun. We also had lots of gifts... that's the way Jan likes it!
PERSONAL NOTE: I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who helped in making the Christmas holidays as nice as they were. We had very nice decorations and lots of special treats. Let me thank all of the participants in the candle lighting each Sunday in Dec... you did a great job. Extra work always goes in to the music so "Thanks" to all of our musicians for their hard work (and the guys in the sound room).
I want to thank Angela Foltz and Janice Foltz for all of their help on the Christmas eve. service. I thought that it was a great time. It would not happen without the help of many hands.
Thank you Brenda von Linsowe for your solo special this past Sunday. Very nice... acappella.
I won't have the opportunity before the next blog to say this soooo... "HAPPY NEW YEAR, MMX!"
I trust that this new year will be better than this last year... on a number of levels!

Welcome to today's blog. I trust that you had a great Sunday worship experience.
PERSONAL NOTE: Right off the bat i would like to thank everyone who was involved in making yesterday's worship service the success that it was... the music was great and the message was right on the seasonal mark. Thanks to George and Linda Hittle for the lighting of the third Advent candle.
Thank you goes out Mr. Bud and Ms. Sue for the music by the King's Kids and the Savior Singers. Didn't they do a fine job. We always appreciate their participation in the services. THANKS KIDS! Hey... the choir had a great number Sunday also. Good job Dee and Choir!
Finally I need to congratulate and thank Mr. Bud and his associates for all of the work that went into the children's Christmas program Sunday evening. I pronounce it a success!!! Thank you everyone! We had a great time... and everyone enjoyed the snacks that followed.
If you took a Cd to distribute for "Operation Share"... make sure that you give it away this week. What a great opportunity to give a gift to someone you really don't know. The seed will be sown!

YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: If you will turn in your Bible to First Peter chapter 4 and verse 15 you will see that the will of God is that no Christian should suffer as a wrong doer. In other words, if you suffer at the hands of others it should be for righteous reasons not sinful reasons. Please remember... this is God's will. It will take effort on our part, but righteousness always does.

BONUS BOOK RECOMMENDATION: This month I want to recommend to you the book: Quick Scripture Reference For Counseling by John G. Kruis. It is published by Baker Book House. I know that you will find it helpful when you have or are asked questions about various topics. I personally have it with me and use it on "Ask The Pastor" as a quick reference.

YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: In First Peter chapter 4 and verse 13 the writer states that we should rejoice when we share in Christ's sufferings. This is the will of God. Whenever you or I suffer for the cause of Christ (if you are a faithful witness you will), we must understand that it is actually beneficial to us and our faith. Remember that Jesus suffered at the hands of the Pharisees for sharing the truth about God. When you have lemons make lemonade (DF).
