Dear Brian and Santiago (from Nancy), Jesus is the only one that saves people. We are commanded to love them with the fruits of the Spirit have you both forgotten what these are? I have not seen any fruit in any of your posts lately and I think you need to take a break and reread what you are saying. When you leave for a while and come back it looks a lot different. The anger you are both posting makes me more comfortable with non believers as well for it is not the fruit of the Spirit. If the Lord was angry it was briefly and minute compared to the love and mercy he poured out to non believers at that time. This is the way He spoke to non believers: Matt. 11 28 Come to me,all you who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you REST. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am GENTLE and HUMBLE of heart and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is EASY and my BURDEN is light. Honestly the way you people yell at everyone for the slightest thing you make his burden unbearable. They are to learn from Him and you need to just support and demonstrate the fruits of the Spirit IMO: Gal.5:23 For the fruits of the SPirit is love, joy, PEACE, patience (with everyone), kindness, goodness and SELF CONTROL. Please take this as encouragement and reread your resent posts with these verses in mind and see if they line up. Showing hostility to people that do not believe is not going to help. However, the fruits of the SPirit of God will return to Him bearing fruit. May His love fill you to overflowing with His fruit and joy, Merry Christmas, Nancy

LETTER FROM GRANDMA - From Nancy Got a letter from Grandma the other day. She writes: The other day I went up to a local Christian bookstore and saw a "honk if you love Jesus" bumper sticker. I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting, so I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper. I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good He is and I didn't notice that the light had changed. It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed! I found that LOTS of people love Jesus! Why, while I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, "For the love of GOD! GO! GO! Jesus Christ, GO!" What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus! Everyone started honking! I just leaned out of my window and started waving and smiling at all these loving people. I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love! There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a "sunny beach"... I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. Then I asked my teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant, he said that it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something. Well, I've never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back. My grandson burst out laughing...why, even he was enjoying this religious experience! A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed. So, I waved to all my sisters and brothers grinning, and drove on through the intersection. I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and I felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared, so I slowed the car down, leaned out of the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away. Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks! Grandma May the Lord bless you and your family, Nancy
