Have a very blessed Christmas. You know it's amazing that it took the biggest stupidity of the century y2k to make me realize how blessed we truly are and have been, I thought I knew a few years ago when I had a near brush with my own mortality when I recovered from heart problems, thank God.

When a life challenging Illness strikes you, You really begin to wake up and learn how special our lifes are and you just accept that there are some things in our ability to control and a whole lot that we cant control and that we have to give it up to god to help us thru each day. Our main purpose in life is not to strive to survive or obtain great riches but just to love one another with courage. To Love our creator God and his most holy son Jesus His living Word who went to the cross for us to show his love and give us eternal redemtion. All you have to do to receive this precious gift is receive His word like a little child who believes all things are possible. It takes real love to let you choose of your own free will.

God wants us to be love and stand up for love. Love your families and spend this special time with them and remember how blessed you really are and that's something y2k can never take away. Love does whats right not what's politically correct. Let Jesus give you peace and joy he knows how hard you labored and cared to get the warnings out. They did not heed them while there was still time to cushion it. It's not your fault. If y2k turns out not to be so major great, God be praised, if it turns out to be major, God be praised society will be forced to change. Just tell every one around you merry Christmas I love you. Only love will fix it.
