FGGAM Photo: Sunday I preached Open at Door Bible Church in Los Alamos! My message was on VISION. Proverbs 29:18: “Where there is no vision, the people perish. But he keepeth the law, happy is he.” What is your vision for your life? God reveals his plan, he gives us guidance in regards to his plan. Those who follow his guidance are happy they do. Without vision Churches perish, communities perish, (Look at Albuquerque it is dying , no vision, families perish, kids roam the streets and get into trouble, that is Albuquerque. I love coming to Pastor Paul Jaramillo’s Church. I have made so many friends over the years like Denise and Betty! If you are looking for a Church home in the LA area. Let me know, I will put you in contact with Pastor Paul. The Church was about full yesterday and then we all enjoyed a Thanksgiving meal! Pastor Paul and his wife Pat are doing a tremendous outreach in the Los Alamos/Espanola area.
I pray God has given you a vision for your life and your walking it out, it is the only way to love. From the words of Clara Nelson: God gives us so many blessings each day, thank you Lord for health and strength. There are so many people lost on sin, Lord, please show me how to bring them in.

I want to see this movie with Sharon! The Best Christmas Pageant Ever!
Haley Stewart From Word on Fire
One recent evening, after discovering that one of our children’s godfathers had never read Barbara Robinson’s children’s classic The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, my children wailed in protest. My oldest son ran to the bookshelf and proceeded to read the first chapter aloud to uproarious laughter around the dinner table. I rediscovered this short read from my childhood a couple of years ago, and my children were all hooked. It’s charming and comical, but it’s also one of the very best reminders of the shocking nature of the Christmas story.
The plot follows the unexpected participation of the Herdman children in the local church’s Christmas pageant. “The Herdmans were absolutely the worst children in the history of the world,” the book begins. They were practically feral and stayed busy bullying other kids and burning things down. They only showed up to Sunday School one morning because they heard there would be snacks, otherwise they never would have even heard of the annual Christmas pageant! Once they did, they were intrigued and threatened the other children not to volunteer for the lead roles so that they could have all the most important parts. When it becomes apparent to the pageant director that the Herdmans don’t even know the Christmas story, pageant rehearsals slow down to catch them up. We listen to the Gospel account with the Herdmans as if we’re hearing it, like them, for the first time. More Here
