We're God bless you and thanks for letting us come into your homes.

And if you're ever in our area, please stop by and be a part of one of our services.

Our promise you will make you feel right at home.

I'd like to start with something funny and I should mention that this was sent to be by a woman.

But according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game,

while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer,

male reindeer lose their antlers at the start of winter in early November.

Female reindeer keep theirs all the way till the spring.

This means all of Santa's reindeer from Rudolph to Blitzen had to be female.

She goes on to say, we should have known only a woman would be able to drag around a fat man

wearing a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost.

Say it like you mean it.

This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

I have what it says I have.

I can do what it says I can do.

Today I will be taught the Word of God.
