Dear friends and neighbors,

As we gather with family, friends, and loved ones to celebrate the reason for the Christmas season (the Creator Himself stepping out of eternity into time, being born a man within His own creation to live a sinless life, and eventually willingly allow Himself to be crucified thus establishing an avenue for forgiveness of sin and salvation from judgment), I wish you blessings and safe travels. The Christmas season always reminds me to rejoice for we were given the gift of eternal life from God. We remember the words of the Maji recorded in Matthew 2:10, "When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy." We likewise rejoice with joy!

Sincerely,

Eric Lucero
