The 'Tall and Short' Of Things Around Here

There is another wave of marines getting ready to 'ship out' through-out the next month. But the Lord is 'shipping in' some new people too. Here is Bro. Rhee Joyce (who is leaving for this present Iraq) and our own Bro. David Shaller (who is a faithful brother).

Martin Luther King Day - Mission... Snow!

Here in southern California, where it remains a consistant balmy 70 - 75 degrees just about year round, there were certain among us that expressed a desire to see snow. Sooo..., where in California to find that?!!! Big Bear Mountian is where it was at!



The BIG Dream

In Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream", he said, at that time of his speech, that it had been a hundred years since the Emancipation Proclaimation with very little progress of freedom and equality. His dream was that all children from every race could come together and fellowship in unity. Through the impact and power of his speech, and others like it, we see a drastic change in America and its culture. His children and the grand-children are seeing this dream realized today. What greater way to spend this holiday then in harmony and fellowship with men and women from various backgrounds; laughing, playing and enjoying each others company on the snow covered hills of Big Bear Mountian!

There is another 'Emancipation Proclaimation', although, that was brought to us from the hill called Calvary. The One that came to set the captive free had a far greater, grander plan for all mankind that we could live in harmony and fellowship with God and man; that there would be no racial, economic, or social barriers. This freedom is being enjoyed by those who have cast down the bondage of sin for the liberty of salvation.

"After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palms in their hands; and cried with a loud voice, saying, 'Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.'" - Revelation 7:9

The greatest common denominator for peace, liberty, joy and happiness is and always will be a true relationship with Jesus Christ. That is the message being proclaimed through out the world by His ministers and His children. Let's keep the message alive!

Happy New Year, Everyone!

Praying that all is well with each and everyone of you and that the coming year is the best yet!
We have been soooo busy these past couple of weeks despite everyone being home for the holidays. The first one comes back today... whaahooo! We sure do miss everyone.

There was a Christmas Eve gathering on Christmas Eve. A great time was had by all - faithful and new alike.

Well, it has truly been a great year! God has been and will always be faithful. We are so blessed. Even in our lowest of conditions we are still blessed in that we have the hope of His coming and knowing that the best is yet to come! What a truely marvelous wonder!

May God bless you and keep you in the coming year is our continual prayer for all.
