Tom, thank you for your Christmas greeting. It always warms my heart to know that others acknowledge and love the Savior. Olive Nabors

Olive, As I watch what is going on, my heart grows weary and heavy for my children and their children. America, and the world, have gone so far off-course, I fear they will not be able to have the same freedoms we enjoyed. Everywhere I turn I see Christianity denigrated. This is a good sign in one way -- it means we are onto something that the evil in the world can't stomach. It seems almost every TV show has some dig or outright condemnation of anything Christian ... Christians are portrayed as the ones with the twisted minds and the "homophobes", the ones that mistreat their children and drive them away. sincerely, Tom Cloud At 09:24 AM 12/15/2005, you wrote: >Tom, thank you for your Christmas greeting.

dear cousins, I apologize for this last email -- it was meant for Olive only. It is not my intention to sidetrack this list into a discussion on social mores or religion. Extending a wish for good will and good health should always be welcomed and that is what I intended with my Christmas wish for you. sincerely, Tom Cloud At 09:39 AM 12/15/2005, you wrote: >Olive, > >As I watch what is going on, my heart grows weary and heavy >for my children and their children.
