The 4th Infantry undertook Operation Red Dawn to find Saddam.
They are based in Texas - Fort Hood.

They got their man - captured Saddam. "Don't mess with Texas!":

Well, another Christmas has come and gone

The end of the year is coming along

Instaed of griping of things that went wrong

I'll count my blessings from the year that has gone

I thank my Lord for a mother so dear

and for the chance to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I came through 2003 still healthy; still free

Because of those who fought for this great country

But now I have wishes and thoughts for 2004

I know with God I'll live in fear no more.

To all my friends who live near and far

My prayer is that God blesses you with a Happy New Year!

bumpity ! bumpity ! bump ! bump ! bump !

Happy Boxing Day, Pippin !! ...

The Complete Story

Read: Revelation 1:1-8

Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. —Revelation 1:7

Bible In One Year: Revelation 1-3

---

At this time of year we think about the birth of the Savior. The events of His birth are of vital importance, yet we would do well to reflect also on His earthly ministry, sacrificial death, resurrection, ascension, and promised return. Our redemption would be incomplete if any element were missing. It is fitting, therefore, to share with you a poem by L. W. Beckley titled, "The Rest of the Story."

We are wont to sing of shepherds
And the heavenly glory bright,
Of angels and their message
On that peaceful, holy night.

But so oft we end the story
When 'tis only just begun,
For we fail to give the message
That this Child is God the Son.

Here to give Himself a ransom,
Crucified on Calvary's tree,
Through His blood providing pardon,
Perfect cleansing, full and free.

And the tomb, thank God, is empty;
Jesus sits at God's right hand
Now a loving, mighty Savior;
Spread the news to every land!

The One born in Bethlehem was none other than God in human flesh. Having lived a perfect life, He died an awful death to pay the price for the sins of mankind. Now He's in heaven, and any day He could return. How wonderful to know the complete story! —Richard De Haan

The birth of Christ brought God to man;
the cross of Christ brings man to God.

I hope your Christmas was a wonderful as ours and that you have an outstanding 2004.

I'm in!
