I am back at my computer after a winter break. It is nice to see all of your comments on my page. I do thank you for them! Hey, guess what? I agree with what you said about some very wicked people, who i thought were as ugly as the sins they committed against others, but upon first meeting thought they were so beautiful in appearance! The Bible teaches me exactly what you said, beauty is inside. Sometimes we are blessed with inner & outer beauty, but some people who at first glance might appear to be sort of "not so pretty", after mneeting them & getting to know them I found them to be BEAUTIFUL!!! Example, (true story) In art class, we were asked to sketch fromm memory, the most beautiful person we knew. I sketched my stepmother. It turned out to get an A+...so I was EXCITED to go home & present it to her as a gift of my love for her & all she had done for us!!! My father & stepmiother took one look at it & started screaming at me for being mean & nasty to her. I was in shock & confused & didnt understand their reaction!!! I later asked my stepmother to please tell me what it was about my sketch that hurt her & she told me how self-conscience she has always been about her hair-lip & clef-pallet, & the scars from her many surgeries. I honestly didnt ever recognise her face as being scarred, until that moment when she pointed them out to me!!! She had always seemed so perfect to me. Lesson learned. I havent ever sketched a person after that. I sketch animals, they are less vain, & I cannot hurt their feelings. agapi friend, Desiree Rose

Francisco...I have JUST this week watched the movie with Andy Garcia....'The Lost City'..about the Cuban revolution. Have you seen it?? It's fantastic! I really knew so little about Cuba...I guess Andy made the film out of his desire to tell Cubas story.... I would be fascinated to know more. What an incredible place it was then....If you've seen the movie..can you tell me if it captured the period in time accurately? The family was so close....it made me think of your family. Hope you get this message....soon... All my best..April~~

Frank..check this out....Why is there an X in Christmas? (X-mas) A seasonal and interesting etymology question: was the X a "commercializing" thing to make Christmas more edible for non-Christians? Is the X really a cross? Neither, in fact; it appears that the X is really the first letter of the word Xtos (ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ), which in Greek is the word for Christ. Xmas SYLLABICATION: X·mas PRONUNCIATION: krsms, ksms NOUN: Christmas. ETYMOLOGY: From X, the Greek letter chi, first letter of Greek Khrstos, Christ. See Christ. USAGE NOTE: Xmas has been used for hundreds of years in religious writing, where the X represents a Greek chi, the first letter of , “Christ.” In this use it is parallel to other forms like Xtian, “Christian.” But people unaware of the Greek origin of this X often mistakenly interpret Xmas as an informal shortening pronounced (ksms). Many therefore frown upon the term Xmas because it seems to them a commercial convenience that omits Christ from Christmas.

Well, thank you for your message. Marriage in the Lord...Praise Jehovah God for the institution of marriage. The only way for a woman & man to be truly happy. As one of Jehovah's Witnesses I believe in the values of Christ Jesus, & strive to live up to them day by day. Nice pictures of a happy family. I usually dont get around to the computer nowadays except for once a month or so. Sorry it took so long to return your message. I am spending the majority of my time, going out to people's homes & finding the people who are thirsting for Bible truths. The work Jesus told us to do until the end comes (Matthew 24:14 & Matthew 28:19, 20)
