Christmas day arrived and we woke up early, Daddy called on his ham radio from the ship and wished us a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. He told us he missed us and couldn’t wait to get home. Mama cried as she talked and Buck and I started opening gifts. I couldn’t wait to rip the wrapping paper off to get to the Red Ryder BB Guns. We poured the BBs into the magazines of our rifles and ran outside to target practice. It wasn’t long until our friends came over. Each rode their new bikes and carried footballs. We tried out each other’s presents then there came the grand finale, after comparing the balls, we chose the best and started playing "smear the queer."

we could not play with any type of guns growing up nor did we celebrate Christmas.

rev 1:8 i am the al pha and the ome ga, says jehovah god, the one who is and who was and who is coming, the almighty.

rev 21:5 and the one seated on the throne said: look!

i am the al pha and the ome ga, the beginning and the end.

However, the eleven disciples went into Gal´i·lee to the mountain where Jesus had arranged for them, 17 and when they saw him they did obeisance, but some doubted. 18 And Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: "All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU. And, look! I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things."

Rbi8John20:17-18***

Jesus said to her: "Stop clinging to me. For I have not yet ascended to the Father. But be on your way to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and YOUR Father and to my God and YOUR God.’" 18 Mary Mag´da·lene came and brought the news to the disciples: "I have seen the Lord!" and that he said these things to her.

Rbi8John21:1-3***

21

After these things Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the sea of Ti·be´ri·as; but he made the manifestation in this way. 2 There were in company Simon Peter and Thomas, who was called The Twin, and Na·than´a·el from Ca´na of Gal´i·lee and the sons of Zeb´e·dee and two others of his disciples. 3 Simon Peter said to them: "I am going fishing." They said to him: "We also are coming with you." Out they went and got aboard the boat, but during that night they caught nothing.

By Request - 1968 The Truth That Leads to Eternal Life

by AlphaOmega in

this is not a scan that i produced, but i had it in my collection so here it is :.

this is an ocr version of the book - if people prefer, i can scan my own copy and upload it... just let me know.. to download it, wait for the counter to finish then right click and save as... rather than opening the link in the browser as that seems to have caused a few problems in the past.. http://files-upload.com/files/687700/1968%20-%20the%20truth%20that%20leads%20to%20eternal%20life.pdf.

The BCS Bowl Extravaganza Is About To Begin. ARE You READY?

by freydi in

well, now that a bunch of sports writers and computer geeks have determined that the outcome of the national champeenship has been decided, it will be interesting to see if hawaii will go undefeated and then watch with bated breath as twice beaten lsu is crowned #1. whew..gets me all doubled up with emotion.

of course this has made all the other bowls irrelevant, imho, and i'm not even a fan as it seems more entertaining to listen to the talking heads and analysts than it is to actually follow what's going on down on the gridiron.

kind of like listening to weather forecasters see how close they can come to actual results, like last night predicting 6-12 inches of snow but only 3-4 actually fell.

Here's the reason for the 3% jump in publishers for the past year

it is immigration that explains the vast majority of the increase.. who is it that immigrates?

the poorest of the poor, the desperate ones that would be dead from starvation or execution by gangs/guerillas within 5 years anyway.

these were not the ones being converted in their home countries - when you have to work 14-18 hours a day, 7 days a week just to feed your family, there is no time to "study", attend meetings, go out in field servce, etc.. so, they go to their new country.

What There Is to Enjoy About Christmas

by WTWizard in

as witlesses, you always hear about christmas in a negative light.

all the running around to get gifts that will be returned the day after, the bills that come in january, the drinking and driving, and all the energy "wasted" on christmas lights and the headaches they get listening to christmas carols all day.. there is a good side of christmas, independent of the religious aspect of it.

i remember when i was little, i most looked forward to the gifts.

Never celebrated it,,,,, but... Merry Christmas to you.
