December 23

MERRY CHRISTMAS

A virgin shall conceive

You shall call His Name Jesus for He will save His people from their sin.

Jesus said, “If you love me,

keep my commandments.”

“Father forgive them,

for they know not what they do.”

On the third day He arose.

“He is not here, He has risen.”

“All authority in Heaven and earth has been given to me…Surely I am with you always to the end of the age.”

The Trinity in Heaven

Merry Christmas: And may we never forget that He is the Reason for the Season.

December 16 My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys!

A COWBOY’S PRAYER

Oh, Lord, I’ve never lived where churches grow.

I love creation better as it stood that day You finished it so long ago

And looked upon Your work and called it good.

I know that others find You in the light

That’s sifted down through tinted window panes,

And yet I seem to feel You near tonight in this dim, quiet starlight on the plains.

I thank You, Lord, that I am placed so well,

That You have made my freedom so complete;

That I’m no slave of whistle, clock or bell,

Nor weak-eyed prisoner of wall and street.

Just let me live my life as I’ve begun

And give me work that’s open to the sky;

Make me a pardner of the wind and sun,

And I won’t ask a life that’s soft or high.

Let me be easy on the man that’s down;

Let me be square and generous with all.

I’m careless sometimes Lord, when I’m in town,

But never let ‘em say I’m mean or small!

Make me as big and open as the plains,

Clean as the wind that blows behind the rains,

Free as the hawk that circles down the breeze!

Forgive me, Lord, if sometimes I forget.

You know the reasons that are hid. You understand the things that gall and fret;

You know me better than my mother did.

Just keep an eye on all that’s done and said and right me, sometimes, when I turn aside,

And guide me on the long, dim trail ahead that stretches upward toward the Great Divide.

THE GREATEST COWBOY

OF THEM ALL

MY HERO!

December 9

Kathy and I want to thank you for allowing us time alone with the Lord. Isaiah 40:31 “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.”

We were blessed to be able to have this quiet time alone on the mountain top with the Lord. We do feel refreshed and ready to serve Him. We are looking forward to it, with strength and vigor.

1 Kings 18:21 “Elijah went before the people and said, ‘How long will you waiver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal is god follow him.” (And go to Hell!)

Thank you Lord for the love of Your people. For the ones who truly love us as their shepherd; they love us because they truly love You, the One who sent us! And thank You dearly, Lord, for their prayers and Your direction.

Back in Coolidge

Christmas Light Parade

The weather was warm. The crowd was great. We enjoyed the parade very much.

But let us not forget the true reason for the season, it is to celebrate the birth of our Savior.
