Here we discuss the family and what you can do to create a happier, healthier family.

We are here!  The Christmas season has arrived!  Not the one that comes at W***Mart the day after Halloween, when all of the decorations go up for sale and the marketers go crazy bidding for who will get the bulk of your Christmas fund… I am talking about the "Deck The Halls - Joy To The World - We Wish You A Merry Christmas (not Happy Holidays)" season where the ideals of mankind momentarily change.

She wasn't the fastest of cars when my dad bought her (she was a 6 banger), but then again she didn't have to be. She wasn't the fanciest, but my dad was never one to concern himself with fanciness. To him, a car, wasn't a luxury, it was a necessity.

In my Dad's opinion, a car was desgined to provide safe transportation for the family. You used it to get to the store to buy food. You used it to ensure your wife could get to the hair dresser or to go shopping for clothes. You used it to go to church, or to work, or to school, or to a doctor's office. And if you weren't using it for one of those purposes, you probably didn't need to use a car.

Old Testament: "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." Psalm 116:15 (NIV)

New Testament: "The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him..." Matthew 12:35a (NIV)

Gospel: "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." Matthew 7:12 (NIV)

An unexpected phone call informed me of the passing of my former employer, mentor and friend, The Reverend, Doctor E.H. Jim Ammerman. A magnificent individual, Jim served with the Navy during World War II, and later became a chaplain, ministering in the Army for 23 years until his retirment in 1977.

Chaplain Ammerman was not content to simply retire. Moved by God to further the spread of the Gospel to the military, he and his wife, Charlene eventually established an ecclesiastical endorsing agency called the Chaplaincy of Full Gospel Churches (CFGC). This agency opened the door for non-denominational Charismatic Christians to serve as chaplains in the U.S. military.

Old Testament: "And she vowed a vow, and said, O Lord of hosts, if thou...wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the Lord all the days of his life... Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him." ...Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying: Because I have asked him of the Lord." 1 Samuel 1:11,17 and 20. (KJV)

New Testament: "Pray without ceasing." 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (KJV)

Gospel: "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." Mark 11:24 (KJV)

In keeping with Mothers' Day, I felt it appropriate to publish the following 'praise report' which my wife, Andrea sent to her friend and fellow prayer partner, Suzette Hattingh.

Another week has gone by and we draw ever closer to real fall weather. Okay, we're still using our air conditioners in Texas, but sooner or later, the heat of summer will fade and we're all breathe easier. At least until we realize we need to start shopping for Halloween and Thanksgiving.
