ROM THE PASTOR'S PEN By Paul WoellhPf 1 1 Cherry Tree PA 11 "Christmas can bring changes" "Unto us a child is bora" the prophet said Centuries later a child that was both fully God and hilly inan was bora to an unknown virgin girl that was awed that God Almighty would select her to the mother of the promised Messiah The marital tradition of the Jews would suggest that his young lass Mary may have been from 13 15 years of age If so a very young girl was given the honor of bearing the Savior Yes indeed this child was not just child this child was the whole world's child The whole world could lay claim to this child This child would give hope to darkened soul and miserable lives This child in maturity would change the history of the whole world Change history? Yes because He was both fully God and fiilly man He would benefit mankind for the rest of the history "if" Yes if we yield our heart to him The changes he brings to us is amazing The more we walk with him the more we recognize we need chan ges What His grace can do in us is beyond description When are changed we have a changing effect on others Everyday mundane life can have a holy invigorating purpose The drudgery can be taken from changing diapers going to work paying bills and jug gling schedules When we have holy purpose we more easily hear the birds sing and see the flowers or pretty leaves I know written with much figurative language but I trust you catch the sentiment and excitement God has done so much in my own life that I help but express the possibilities As we go through this holiday season may we be thankful for the changes and pos sibilities of life that has been made available through the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Like the morning sun through a window may this holy day's message oi peace and goodwill to all brighten our lives In this and every season Welsh Construction Paul Connie Boys Greg Debbie I "The True Light wiULii ugmeui uvury nicui that comath into the world" 3 Jahn 1:8 A I 8 i WH EN May the spirit of the first Christmas bring joy and good cheer to you and your family urniture Store Miltonvale 427 2285 PHELPS uneral Home 427 2286 Wease on CH jmMBJw iw Hr I TO iU ROM JOHNNIE BREEN Not much to report from Beijing the weather is very cold and the wind is much like a Kansas winter day I have winter clothing but when I out outside it seem like I have enough on On ebruary 17 1997 I get my week leave and I have made reserva tions to go to the island of Bali in Indonesia I have a great hotel on the back and the temperature will be very warm I think of my vacation when cold and it helps me with the day I went out this week and purchased a short leather coat a full length leather coat and a leather vest The total cost was $50000 The full length coat would have been over $100000 and the short coat about $50000 if I had purchased them in the US I look like a Beijing gun fighter when I wear the vest David would go wild in the Chinese leather shops since he loves to buy leather coats 1 took a few shots of the Palace There is no way I could get the place in perspective with a camera It is called the orbidden City and covers a large area of land ch4 Cafe Miltonvale Ke 913 427 2477 Saturday Night Special Cattish illet or Walleye illet We will close at 1:00 pm Sunday Dec 22 for the Staff Christmas Party Wednesday the 24th Christmas Eve we will close at 1:00 pm We will be closed all day Christmas Thanks Rita A Gayion I received Mail from LaDonna and it is nice to know we can write to each other on the Internet not into the Internet much but it has been handy on a few occasions I made my hotel reservations by Mail and received information on other hotels in Bali through the Internet I was delighted to see my letter in the Miltonvale Record I will have to itn Erove my writing skills if my work is eing published Birthday candles are one way to make light of your age Snowfall for the week 1 Moisture for the week 07 Total moisture for December 07 Total moisture for 1996 3187 Total moisture for Dec 1995 45 Total moisture for 1995 3402 Total moisture for 1994 2543 Total moisture for 1993 4681 Total moisture for 1992 4235 LOCAL MARKETS Wheat $421 Milo $373 Cora $242 Soybeans $668 Oats $144 Sunflowers $980 (At the close Tuesday evening) happy to you ana yours!
