It Was A Holy Night
And the angel said unto her, “Fear not Mary, for thou hast found favor with God.” With that message a child would soon be born, His name would be Jesus, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace
And she brought forth her first born son and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room in the Inn.
And when the shepherds saw the new star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. For they knew the Son of God was born.
And when the wisemen came upon the babe with Mary his mother, they fell down and worshipped Him; and opened their treasures to Him. The presented unto Him gifts of gold, frankincense & myrrh.
It was a holy night.
And Jesus, when he was baptized, went straight way out of the water; and lo the Heavens were opened unto Him. And he saw the spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon Him.
And lo a voice came down from the heavens saying. “This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.”
Jesus went about Galilee teaching the Gospel, healing all manners of sickness and disease among the people. Many miracles He performed, making the blind see, the deaf hear, the lame to walk, and the dead brought back to life.
Then cometh Jesus with His disciples unto a place called Gethsmane.
And when He was about a stone’s cast away from them, he kneeled down and prayed.
And being in great agony He prayed more earnestly. The sweat falling from every pore was as great drops of blood. He prayed saying, “Father if thou be willing, remove this cup from me; Never the less not my will, but thine be done.”
Then Jesus was taken before Pilate. Pilate asked the priests. “What will ye then that I shall do unto Him whom YE call The King of the Jews?” And they cried out,
“Crucify Him!!” And the soldiers led Him away. They clothed Him with purple and platted a crown of thorns and put it about His head. They began to salute Him, mocking Him, saying “Hail, King of the Jews!”
They smote Him on the head with a reed. They spit on Him, and bowing to their knees worshipped Him.
And after they had mocked Him, they took the purple from Him, and put his own clothes on Him and led Him out to be crucified.
They drove nails through His wrists, hands and feet. And in the 3rd hour they crucified Him.
After they crucified Him, they pierced His side, parted His garments, and cast lots upon them. ‘What every man should take’.
“For God so loved the world, he gave His only begotten Son. That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
It was a silent night.
And when the Sabbath was past. Mary Magdalene and Mary His mother had brought sweet spices, that they might come anoint Him.
And when they looked they saw that the stone was rolled away from the sepulcher. And upon entering the sepulcher there was a young man. And he said to them. “He is not here He is risen.”
Jesus appeared to His apostles and said to them. “Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. He that believith and is baptized shall be saved.”
And after Jesus had spoke to His apostles, He ascended into Heaven and sat at the right hand of God.
It was a Holy Night.

Key West, Miami & The Everglades Trip
Thanksgiving was nice. Greg's Mom came to have Thanksgiving with us this year, so we decided to do a few things while she was here.
Friday morning we left for Key West. Our first stop was at Robbie's Pier where we fed the huge tarpon. It was a favorite stopping place when we went to the Keys 2 years ago. We then went down to the Southern Most Point (90 miles to Cuba) Then we walked around Duval street for a little bit after eating at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville. It was yummy.

Greg, Jordan, Shalee & JayceeSaturday we decided to go to the Everglades and go on a air boat ride to see the Everglades and some gators. It was AWESOME! I wish the air boat ride would have lasted a lot longer, especially when the captain went speeding around and making turns..That was awesome. Our captain was Captain Bill, he was so funny. We saw three gators, one was a friendly little (big) guy. We also saw and Iguana and wild parakeets. Got lots of good pictures.
