Show December 22, 1999 - The Pyramid - Page E6 Make this Christmas memorable I hope that this will be the best Christmas that you have ever had. There is a sure formula that can bring about a fascinating and memorable Christmas. The formula was given about 2,549 years ago. The great prophet that shared this message said, "We talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their . sins. And now behold, I say unto you that the right way is to believe in Christ, and deny him not; and Christ is the Holy One of Israel; wherefore ye must bow down before him; and worship him with all your might, mind, and strength, and your whole soul." Christmas is the time to focus on Christ. We turn our thoughts to him, we learn of the special events that his birth brought, angels, gifts, love, and the fulfillment of prophesy. We sense the need to give, like he did. We learn that others are happy when their hearts are turned to Christ. In other words Christmas is great because we put Christ in our life. Let us truly put Christ in our life, not only for Christmas but for the wonderful new century.

Some dread. with millennium new They are people are looking at the fail. to and businesses crash to expecting computers They are stockpiling all sorts of items in case they are cut off from food supplies. Everything from cash in the mattress to barrels of fresh water are being collected. Yes, I admit I have several boxes of canned goods and gallons of water m the basement. Once they get everything together, do you think that they will feel safe? I have heard many people talking about the year Other people are looking toward the year 2000 with hope. They think it will be the beginning of something wonderful. They see it as a time for God's grace to break in upon our world in a new way. One group is calling for us to celebrate the millennium by forgiving foreign debt so that the poor are given a new start. They have taken the theme of the Old Testament Jubilee as their rallying point. Others of a more conservative bent are expecting the return of Christ. Some are even planning to be in Jerusalem to meet Jesus when he "touches down" on the Mt. of Olives. (1000 years ago, people thought that was the date of Christs return. Didnt happen!) I like to go to bed early I am a New Years Eve so that I have enough endurance to watch all the football games! I dont find anything particularly miraculous when we switch calendars. I go to bed on New Years Eve expecting that when I wake up, the most significant point will be that it is tomorrow! And that comes every day. Thats special enough for me! " By extension, the year two thousand is just another "tomorrow. is for me. miracle enough of a Waking up to a new day Some years ago, while St. Frances was hoeing a garden, he was asked, "If you knew the Lord was going to return tomorrow, what would you do?" He replied, "Id hoe this garden." The point is, if we are doing what God wants us to do when God wants us to do it, there is no need to get excited about whats going to happen today, tomorrow, at the new year or even at the new millennium. We are doing just what we are supposed to be doing. How can you prepare for the year 2000? Why not make a concerted effort to be sure that you are doing what God expects of you? Then, whether or not something special happens, you will be ready. You can meet the Lord with the confidence that you did the best you could with the life you have been given. Pastor Dave Boge r!
