Hi, I was born again in 1991 at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale. I now attend Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale.
If you are born again then you will understand. If you aren't then let me ask you these two questions;
Have you come to the point in your spiritual life that you know that if you died today you would go to heaven?
If you were to die today and God asked you 'why should I let you into my Heaven?' what would you say?
I was never asked those questions up to that point in my life. In fact, I never even thought much of heaven or how to get there. I had read a little from the Bible and I spent some time at a catholic youth group but no one ever talked about salvation or Heaven. The Bible speaks about Heaven and being saved, Jesus said in John 3:3 "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
Paul said in Romans 10:9" That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
So I said a prayer to ask Jesus into my heart and to forgive me for my sins and that was the beginning of my life as a Christian.
The Origin of Saint Nicholas (Santa Claus)
Here is a paper I wrote about Christmas.
Here is a story about the origin of Thanksgiving
Here is some information about Your Eyes
I didn't write the paper on the End Times but I do agree with most all of it.

Drought in Georgia
It's so dry in Georgia that the Baptists are starting to baptize by sprinkling; the Methodists are using wet-wipes, the Presbyterians are giving out rain-checks, and the Catholics are praying for the wine to turn back into water. Now THAT's Dry.Thanks to Janice Williams, a former secretary in the WP office for Sunday Clothes. A little boy was walking down a dirt road after church one Sunday afternoon when he came to a crossroads where he met a little girl coming from the other direction. "Hello," said the little boy. "Hi," replied the little girl. "Where are you going?" asked the little boy. "I've been to church this morning and I'm on my way home," answered the little girl. "I'm also on my way home from church. Which church do you go to?" asked the little boy. "I go to the Baptist church back down the road," replied the little girl. "What about you?" "I go to the Methodist church back at the top of the hill," replied the little boy. They discover that they are both going the same way so they decided that they'd walk together. They came to a low spot in the road where spring rains had partially flooded the road, so there was no way that they could get across to the other side without getting wet. "If I get my new Sunday dress wet, my Mom's going to skin me alive," said the little girl. "My Mom'll tan my hide, too, if I get my new Sunday suit wet," replied the little boy. "I tell you what I think I'll do," said the little girl. "I'm gonna pull off all my clothes and hold them over my head and wade across." "That's a good idea," replied the little boy. "I'm going to do the same thing with my suit." So they both undressed and waded across to the other side without getting their clothes wet. They were standing there in the sun waiting to drip dry before putting their clothes back on, when the little boy finally remarked, "You know, I never realized before, just how much difference there really is between a BAPTIST and a METHODIST!!!
