| Last night I sent out a message to our email database, It got scrambled. I wanted to share the unscrambled message with you all! LOL!
So very sorry friends, in a rush to get you a late Christmas story that I wanted to share with you before Christmas was over, I made
a few mistakes in my intro! When checking my work afterwards, I found the mistake lying in bed! Me make mistakes????LOL LOL
Maybe it was little 21 pound Daisy! She could have gotten up on my desk and jumped on the keyboard! I’m not kidding,
as after her Christmas bath she jumped up on the dinning room table and shook her self dry!!!!! LOL! LOL! All over Sharon’s table cloth! LOL!
Or it could have been the elves loose in the house that Reno had been chasing! LOL! LOL!
I think I it was because I wanted to get you the Christmas story before the day was over and got in a hurry, as I was very tired!
I should say that “Mail Chimp” our email template is having problems also with getting things correct again this morning.
Last night the Lord reminded me that He had instructed me to center my Christmas sermon around being a messenger for HIM. So that is where my heart is to keep proclaiming the good news around the globe!
We have around 40 volunteers, who serve with the heart of God. Managing the website is a full-time job in itself. Thank the Lord for Pastor Paul Holt who maintains the site, Pastor Paul has been so vital to the ministry. I have learned much over the years from him and Isaac, who came back for a bit to give the site a “tune-up”!
We are all called to carry out the Great Commission, FGGAM is doing it with the help of all of our Godly writers. We may be based in New Mexico, but God is using this ministry to reach all over HIS world!
Everyday this site spreads the Good news to the world, HIS love and HIS Word and ways.At the end of November FGGAM.ORG website had received 529,140 visitors this year. We are on track to have reached 4 million people since we started FGGAM just over 5 years ago. PTL!

I just wanted to remind myself, our volunteers, and our supporters what God is up to here at FGGAM. All my sermon podcasts reach the world for Jesus!
Our radio ministry program is now on 4 stations in southwestern Minnesota. One in New Mexico, the HUB of NM.
This is all of God, I just try not to do anything stupid. I have the best partner in the world, my wife, Sharon.

Please continue to pray for all of us as we go forth into 2018, our 6th year. Pray for our protection, as a messenger of God.
We love you all so very much!
I’m even going to repost the story! LOL!
From December of 2014…………
 I just got this in the mail from Charles and Joan McCargish of Reserve, New Mexico! It is a dandy! Merry Christmas!
‘Twas the night before Christmas and out on the ranch,
The pond was froze over and so was the branch.
The snow was piled belly-deep to a mule.
The kids were all home on vacation from school,
And happier young folks you never did see-
Just all sprawled around-watchin’ TV.
Then suddenly, some time around 8 o’clock,
The power went off, the TV went dead!
When Grandpa came in from out in the shed
With an armload of wood, the house was all dark.
“Just what I expected,” they heard him remark:
“Them power line wires must be down from the snow.
Seems sorter like times on the ranch years ago.”
“I’ll hunt up some candles,” said Mom. “With their light,
And the fireplace, I reckon we’ll make out all right.”
The teen-agers all seemed enveloped in gloom.
Then Grandpa came back from a trip to his room,
Uncased his old fiddle and started to play.
That old Christmas song about bells on a sleigh.
Mom started to sing, and 1st thing they knew
Both Pop and the kids were all singing it, too.
They sang Christmas carols, they sang “Holy Night,”
Their eyes all a-shine in the ruddy firelight.
They played some charades Mom recalled from her youth,
And Pop read a passage from God’s Book of Truth.
They stayed up till midnight-and, would you believe,
the youngsters agreed ’twas a fine Christmas Eve.
Grandpa rose early. some time before dawn;
And when the kids wakened, the power was on.
“The power company sure got the line repaired quick,”
Said Grandpa-and no one suspected his trick.
Last night, for the sake of some old-fashioned fun,
He hadpulled the main switch-the old Son-of-a-Gun!
