WOW! It is hard to believe that I have been with 2x2 for a whole year now! Well time does fly when you are having fun. Teresa and I want to thank all of the group and our extended family for making this year such a blessed and satisfying one! We have felt so at home and so loved by all of you that support and follow us! Thank you and God bless you!
I was in one of the major stores in our area the other day, and I wished my cashier , Merry Christmas. Her reply was Happy Holidays. Well there are a lot of holidays this time of year and I felt it was my duty to wish her a Merry Christmas again. I got the same reply!
I was told later that this particular store does not allow its employees to say Merry Christmas. How sad that corporations will go out of their way to not offend some one. This year in Maryville, someone protested that the Christmas story was to be read from Luke 2, and being the courageous souls that city officials can be, they decided not to read scripture for their Christmas ceremony. I think they also changed it to a Holiday celebration. What conviction! Hang the legalities, read the Word! The reason that people get upset about the Word being read, is that they are convicted by God's Word being proclaimed! We believers need to remember that the reason we celebrate Christmas is because our Redeemer was born this season two thousand years ago and He is still saving and healing and delivering those who call upon His name TODAY!!!
Now more that ever we need to be reminded why we celebrate Christmas and proclaim the Good News of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ!!
For unto to us is born, this day, a Savior which is Christ the Lord!! What a wonderful promise, and what a wonderful Savior! Thank you Jesus!
We have a charge to Go Tell! Let us be about the Father's business!!
All of us in 2x2 want to wish you and all of your families a very blessed and Merry Christmas!!
Thank you for all of your prayers and support! All of us in 2x2 would like thank our families for all the love and support that you extend to us throughout the year! We love you!
So from our hearts to yours have a blessed and very Merry Christmas, in the name of The Lord Jesus Christ! After all, the best gift of all is Jesus!Amen!
You keep prayin', we'll keep singin', and God, well, He will keep movin'.
May 2010 be a year of miracles for you!

By the way, Teresa got a report on Cole, the 7 year old that had a stroke. The Doctors are not offering much hope for him. His family needs a Christmas miracle, pray that God will raise Cole up to bring glory to the Father!
