HAPPY NEW YEAR, A FOREIGN PHRASE TO FAR TOO MANY!
TODAY AND FOR SOME DAYS AHEAD, WE WILL WISH EACH OTHER A HAPPY NEW YEAR, YET SO MANY FIND THIS PHRASE FOREIGN TO THE REALITY OF THEIR LIFE. We go home turn the T.V. on, and the news alert comes on that the terrorist alert level has been raised, and that they want to attack us over the next few days...

A CHILD'S PLEDGE - WORTHY OF A NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION!

From Steve Spurrier, former Washington Redskins coach. Just two years ago, the 5 million dollar man went to Washington to lead the Redskins to the super bowl, and now with humility and walking away from the last 3 years of his contract, Spurrier resigns. What went wrong? I am not sure, but I have...

ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN
Today the sun rose rather quietly, With a heavy blanket of fog in the air; Calling my weary soul and spirit, To another day of intercessory prayer. Like the dense clouds of fog that surrounded me, Life often gets trapped in a low visibility way; Challenging our troubled souls and spirits, To make...

NO ROOM IN THE INN - NO ROOM IN OUR HIGH TECH SOCIETY EITHER?
In the Christmas story, there was no room in the Inn for Mary, Joseph, and the baby Jesus; therefore, Jesus was born in a manger in a stable. Today in our high tech society, if the truth be known, there is no room in most people's lives for Jesus, especially in our High-Tech society! To prove my...

WHAT YOU AND I NEED FOR CHRISTMAS!
What You and I need for Christmas Is not more presents under the tree; What we need for Christmas Is for America to once again be free. What You and I need for Christmas Is not more presents under the tree; What we need for Christmas Is the gift of folded hands and bended knees! What You and I need...

MERRY CHRISTMAS - A FOREIGN PHRASE TO MOST OF THE WORLD
Yesterday, in the morning and evening service people were wishing each other a Merry Christmas. As I listened to the members of the congregation, I begin to reflect that most of the world has no idea what it means to have a Merry Christmas. I go home turn the T.V. on, and the news alert comes on...

FIRST CHRISTMAS - NO ROOM IN THE INN - TODAY...
there doesn't seem to be much room on BN. Please don't take this post wrong, but where are all the Christmas post.

AN EARLY CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR PRESIDENT BUSH
OUR COMMANDER IN CHIEF! I don't always agree with President Bush, and I have not been very happy lately with the war in Iraq, but to be honest probably very few of us know the pressure this man is under and has been since 9/11. As I have spent the last few days reflecting on the capture of Saddam...
