Karas Korner Written by Kara Wireman As humans,
we tend to want to put things off, but have you
ever thought about the fact that the devil (and
notice I did NOT capitalize his name) is the
reason we do it? Well, I can tell you from a
recent experience that the devil is really trying
his best to keep us from speaking the Word. So,
I thought SLACKING would be a great subject for
this months newsletter. I have to be honest,
even as Christians, we tend to slack off. I
slack on reading the Bible, praying like I
should, and even going to church. At times, we
probably all do. It has been a struggle for me
this month with this newsletter, because I have
put off doing my fair share of the newsletter. I
kept telling myself, Oh, Ill do it tomorrow,
but when the next day came, that was the excuse I
used every time to keep myself from doing what
was really important. When we make a commitment,
people expect us to keep it. I can honestly say,
I have probably let many people down due to my
selfish slacking. Yes, this was my fault, but
the enemy is also behind it. He has his ways to
keep you from doing whats really important, and
this is one of them. Think about how much
different we would be if he didnt do the things
he does, but then again would we have any
character? Whether you believe me or not, the
devil gets some people closer to the Lord, and
what I mean by that is, that when people need God
most, that is when they start praying!! (in most
cases) So, when you feel like you are slacking,
tell yourself that you will not let satan win
this battle! I hope to encourage you through my
own testimony with this. Have a wonderful
Christmas!
JR. BASIC NEWS at the cross
From the Secretaries desks By Jacob, Joanna,
Brianna, and Matt What Christmas is All About
by M.S. Lowndes Christmas will always be for us
A time to reflect on Christ The gift God gave to
all the world Was the gift of His life We know
Christmas is not about tinsel Nor fancy Christmas
wreaths Nor is it about all the decorations That
adorns our Christmas trees. And its not about
Holly or Mistletoe Hanging from our doors Nor is
it about the gifts that are left By the jolly
Santa Claus. Christmas is more than all of
this And the only reason why We celebrate
Christs birth together And the wonder of His
life So remember as you celebrate Just what its
all about And invite the Lord to join with
you Instead of leaving Him out For He will
always be the reason We celebrate this day No
substitute the world may offer Can take that
meaning away.

that everything stays well.
Sierras Surprises Luke 126-33 In the sixth
month, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a
town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin
engaged to a man named Joseph, of the house of
David. The virgins name was Mary. And the
angel came to her and said, Rejoice, favored
woman! The Lord is with you. But she was
deeply troubled by this statement, wondering what
kind of greeting this could be. Then the angel
told her Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have
found favor with God. Now listen You will
conceive and give birth to a son, and you will
call His name JESUS. He will be great and will
be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord
God will give Him the throne of His father David.
He will reign over the house of Jacob forever,
and His kingdom will have no end.
