From the banks of Burcham Creek
Christmas 2025 Edition…

Bless us Lord,
This Christmas,
With  quietness of mind;
Teach us to be patient
And always to be kind.
- Helen Steiner Rice

Christmas Day…
is a day of joy and charity.
May God make you
very rich in both.
- Phillip Brooks

May Peace…
be your gift at Christmas
And your blessing 
all  year through!
- Anonymous

Gifts of time and love
Are surely the basic
Ingredients of a truly
Merry Christmas.
- Peg Bracken

God grant you the light
In Christmas which is faith;
The warmth of Christmas,
Which is love;
The radiance of Christmas,
Which is purity;
The righteousness of Christmas,
Which is justice;
The belief in Christmas,
Which is truth…
- Wilda English

A Christmas Blessing…

During this Christmas season,
May you be blessed
With the spirit of the season,
Which is peace,
The gladness of the season,
Which is hope,
And the heart of the season,
Which is love,
Somehow, not only for Christmas
But all the long year through,
The joy that you give to others
It is the joy that comes back to you,
And the more you spend in blessing
The poor and lonely and sad,
The more of your heart’s possessing
Returns to you glad.
- John Greenleaf Whittier


The spirit of Christmas
Needs to be superseded
By the Spirit of Christ.
The spirit of Christmas
It is annual;
The Spirit of Christ 
It is eternal.
The spirit of Christmas
It is sentimental;
The Spirit of Christ
It is supernatural.
The spirit of Christmas
It is a human product;
The Spirit of Christ
Is a divine person.
That makes all the
Difference in the world.
- Stuart Briscoe

092121 What Are The Different Types of Life Insurance?

Types of life insurance generally fall into two categories… term life insurance and permanent life insurance.   Term life insurance   Term life insurance provides protection for a specific period of time (the term). This is often 10, 20 or 30 years. Term life insurance makes sense when you need protection for a specific amount of time… for instance, until your kids graduate from college or your mortgage is paid off. Term life insurance typically offers the most amount of coverage for the lowest initial premium. This makes this type of life insurance policy a good choice for those on a tighter budget.   Permanent life insurance   Permanent life insurance provides lifelong protection for as long as you pay the premiums. It also accumulates cash value on a tax-deferred basis, which you can tap into to buy a home, supplement your retirement income, cover an emergency expense and more. Because of these additional benefits, initial premi...
