Summary

This talk was originally presented on December 16, 1995 in Albuquerque, NM.
This recording is a result of our work digitizing over 600 cassette tapes of Elisabeth's talks. Each tape is decades old and the quality of the recordings varies quite a bit from tape to tape. As we preserve Elisabeth's legacy, we will share as much of her work as possible, even when technical issues affect the quality of the audio. Each talk is unique in content and tone. All are a blessing and encouragement.

1:01.2	I'm sure that some of you have been there.
1:04.3	I have, and I was very impressed
1:06.7	to see how rocky the shepherd's fields are.
1:11.6	There are still fields outside of Bethlehem
1:14.6	where shepherds watch their flocks by night.
1:17.6	And our thoughts go back to that one night so many years ago
