  4. Laura, Thanks for the reminder that we're not worshiping a helpless baby in a manger. I see that you live near Joplin--our paper had a story about the Butterfly People of Joplin this Sunday. Heard any stories?

Thanks for writing me back!

This life only works with Jesus. The next life is a continuation of this one—make sure you spend it with Jesus. Jesus is the only way to God the Father!
