Reps: 1,439 (power: 22) | | unitedistand, your signature reads
God's people are destroied for their lack of knolege
That should be " destroyed" for their lack of "knowledge."
Don't worry though, it is not the best typo of the year.

Reps: 49 (power: 0) | | | We haven't always gone to church on Christmas Eve--sometimes it has seemed "too busy" to do that. But this year after attending a Christmas Eve service at our church, I decided that in the future I will not allow the busy-ness of Christmas to interfere with making it a regular tradition.
We are regular church attenders--probably don't miss 3 Sundays a year. And I love going to church. But the Christmas Eve service this year was the most enjoyable service I have experienced in a long, long time. It was so beautiful and family-oriented. And short. It was only an hour long and you didn't have to look at your watch once before it was over.

Reps: 378 (power: 0) | | | I play piano for our Christmas Eve communion service - it's a come-and-go thing, people come into the church, have communion, leave to be with their families. It's by candlelight, and so beautiful and simple. I enjoy being a part of it.
