And God bless us, every one. . .

As the ec team heads out to all the corners of the world (OK, the mid-South, Midwest, and South) for the Christmas holidays, we wanted to wish you all a merry Christmas. Think of this as our Christmas card to you.

More than that, we wanted to encourage you to spend some time thinking about the reason behind this season. Sure, Christmas is about family, fun, good food, and time off from school, but really, it's all about Christ. It's our prayer that this year, you truly experience the Savior. He was born in a manger, walked among us, and died so that we might live. Celebrate His presence this year. Ponder these words this year as you open the gifts and celebrate Christmas: "Today a Savior, who is Messiah the Lord, was born for you in the city of David" (Luke 2:11).
