Merry Christmas Everyone, I truly enjoy following the discussions on this Board. Although I do not post often, I do look forward, to the many points of view and the healthy exchange of ideas that come to to my email box each day.Thank you all for being a part of my life. I am richer for the thoughts, opinions, and insights that you share.

Please accept the following very special Christmas Blessing as my prayer for you and each of those that you love;

"May the humility of the shepherds, the perseverance of the wise men, the joy of the angels, and the peace of the Christ Child be God's gifts to you and yours this Christmastime and always." - Traditional Moravian blessing

Yours in the Joy of Jesus, Pastor Mike Barta Johnson Chapel AME Church Santa Ana, CA
