I am preaching tonight...

A portion from Acts18....

Christmas is getting closer...

Also, last reminder, for anyone in the LA area that's interested in apologetics session...

A Christmas poem...

http://teamtruth.com/poetry/po_jlxmas.htm

I Would Have Wrote To Santa If…

(This poem was originally meant to be humoring Santa giving gifts only to “good children” and how I never thought I was good enough to write to Santa.  But now that I’m older, there’s a little twist to it.)

I remember back in first grade,

Someone told me Santa was man made,

Then in class we were forced to write,

A letter to good old Santa alright.

The Vice Principal came in,

We sat around her circling,

As she asked us what we want for Christmas,

I said what I wanted for Christmas.

I thought, it must be busy in the North Pole,

Watched the elves work hard on TV you know.

These days when I hear Santa would be in town,

I wonder of all the little kids who go around,

Saying that they were good little kids this year,

This I dread with fear:

If you were a bad kid for Christmas,

Whom do you write to for Christmas?

Besides lowering stamp cost this season,

I didn’t write to Santa for this reason:

I need the gift of salvation from Jesus more than anything.

--Jimmy Li

The thought that Santa exists in the landscapes of our imagination is good enough for me.

No my ancestors come from Germany, Whales, Ireland, Asia, and the Americas.
I guess that makes me an American mutt.

i was just curious about your competitiveness because i think the most effective apologists are those who are a lot more concerned with giving a reason for the hope that resides in them than winning a debate. that's good that you are not that competitive.

My sunday school class put together some packages of treats for Steave and mailed them . His mother told my wife of some of the things he lkes to get. If you were there what wouuld think would be good to have out there at different times of the year ? Some of the younger kids also sent thank you letters to him . Tell me if you have any ideas my brother . I prayed the day of your preaching service Jimmy .

In His love and hope by faith ,

Barry

I hope all went well yesterday with your message. It's been so long since I've been in touch with you. I have been way behind on Xanga. My school break will be starting Wed. of next week. I am looking forward to it, too. I love my student, and my profession, . . .  but a break will be nice! Have a blessed Christmas, Jim  ~ ~ Carolyn
