Issue 10.6 December 16, 2014 Avaliable Online at www. usd240.org Dear Santa, I know I haven’t been very good this year, but that’s besides the point. Jesus forgave me so you can too. I’m 10 now and I know your secret. You give us presents based on how good our cookies are. I bought these ones from the store, so if I wake up with cruddy presents under the tree, then we will have some problems. I expect to find an iphone, a wii, some ugg boots, a uni- corn, and I’m not talking about a stuffed animal. I want many other things, but you can figure them out. This is your last shot Santa. I am warning you. Sincerely, Hannah Dear Santa, I would like a big bucket of hot wheels, and a basketball. I want the basketball so I can shoot baskets. I want the hot wheels so I can play with them when it is raining outside. I’ve been very good this year.

No matter the price, jewelry is an accessory anybody can appreciate. A centerpiece for any room, flowers will liven up the house and spirits. Roses, tulips, chry- santhemums, or any flower is great for the season. You can take a pic- ture from your child- hood and place it next to a very recent photo. The change in time makes a great keepsake. To Get Your Mother New picture frames will revive old pho- tos around your house. Available at a number of places and in a plethora of styles and designs, some customizable, these frames can rebuild memories. Along with pictures, wall art can give any space a new look. If your parents like type, then you could go with a canvas with type on it. Visual arts can also add a degree of intricacy. A new invention was shown to me recently: the mini-me. You can send the company pictures of your- self, and they will make a doll- sized replica of yourself. This is for the “out-there” gifts that make the holiday unique. It will certaintly be a gift that is often called to mind. Dear Santa, For Christmas I would like a lava lamp, trampoline, Barbies, chess, jewelry, twister, Walkie Talkies, Nerf rebel, a guitar, and kinetic sand. I would still be grateful if you only brought me one of these. Love, Adriana Dear Santa, I’m sorry I accidently left the fire on in the fireplace, and I’m also sorry for my brother shooting Rudoff. It’s not every day you see a 12-point buck on your roof. This year I promise to leave you some deer jerky. For Christmas I would like some more ammo for next year. P.S. If you want to see him, he’s hanging in our living room. Love, Littly Timmy P.S.S. If you see a red dot on you or you reindeer just ignore it. Nelly Saves by Ian Christmas! Hodges The last time we checked in on Nelly the Narwhal she had just left from the South Pole to try and find her parents. Shortly after departing, Nelly ran into a very rambunctious dolphin named Dolly.

    very year, we say Advent is a time of spiritual preparation Efor Christmas. But what needs to be prepared? If not the presents we’ll give or the food we’ll make to celebrate, what needs to be tended in the weeks before the holy day? It is our own sense of being. Advent, which means “beginning,” allows us time and space to nurture a fragile, new understanding of who we truly are, as tenderly as we would care for a new baby. The story of Mary and Joseph and the divine child born in a manger has resonated with us for 2,000 years because we feel ourselves to be part of it. Christmas represents the divine child born in each of us and the divine attributes we can develop as we learn to express our God nature in human form. The four Sundays of Advent proclaim aspects of that divine nature—hope and faith, peace, love, and joy. The weekday messages will guide you in contemplating the attributes of Spirit in you. Our booklet continues through the 12 days of Christmas, to Epiphany on January 6, with an exploration of your 12 divine powers. YOUR SUPPORT As this unusual year draws to a close, we are especially attuned MAKES A DIFFERENCE to its lessons and legacies. We hope this booklet reawakens in you a sense of oneness with God and a knowing of yourself as Generous donations from friends like you allow us to make holy too. Unity literature available to those most in need of spiritual encouragement.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
