RE: [TruthTalk] further revelation

DaveH,   We got 8 inches of gorgeous snow beginning on Christmas Eve morning, just as I requested! A perfect setting for 15 of our family members gathering together here; from Great Grandpa down to our youngest granddaughter of 8 months. So perfect! Today the snow is mostly gone (after some fun sledding on Art Hill in Forest Park), the sun is shining and it is 54 degrees. Not bad!   One of my most precious memories for this year was our tree trimming party, in which a much loved Jewish couple joined us and helped decorate the tree. We were joined by, among others, the 2 and 4 year old granddaughters who were praising Jesus to the Christmas carols playing on the stereo. We have joined that couple at their home for a Seder in the past, and it was so sweet to see them enjoying their first “Christmas” experience. I think mutual experience of our cultures paves the way for trust and understanding—and hopefully for changed hearts and lives in the future. J   Have a blessed vacation with your family. The weather sounds great.   Izzy   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Dave Hansen Sent: Saturday, December 28, 2002 1:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] further revelation   DAVEH:  Yeah Izzy........no snow here or fear of too much sun.   This is Oregon........lots of storm action.    We long for a white Christmas and envy you folks just a little.......very little, now that I ponder it!     BTW.........It is nearly midnight and the temperature outside is slightly over 50 degrees!  Now.......are you a little envious?!?!?!
