  My Daughter is due to have her baby any time now. 

  This is the article that I’m putting in the Press & Dakotan for this Friday:
  

  P & D              “Season for Celebration – Dr. Seuss style”  

  by Pastor Randy Tramp, Children’s Pastor at Assembly of God

   

  “Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.”  Dr. Seuss

   

  Dr. Seuss had a way of transporting us into a child’s world.  God the Father gave us a simple message from that realm.

   

  The message God the Father spoke to us was brought to us in the form of a child.  His message was on the level of a child.  We’re entering the holiday season and will celebrate that message on Christmas.  The answer came by way of a manger.  It came by way of a child.

   

  We have so much to celebrate this season.  We have so much to be thankful for. 

  I’m so grateful that 25 years ago I met Jesus for the first time.  Oh, I went to church all my life, but it wasn’t until I was in the Navy that I came face to face with my creator.

   

  I had the encounter as my ship was at sea.  A new crew mate was assigned to the office that I worked in.  Vinnie was a new born Christian and spoke of Jesus often.  I had never heard the message he spoke before.  He said I could personally invite Jesus in my heart.  I remember so clearly that night when I followed Vinnie’s instructions.  I didn’t quite know what I was doing but I desired Jesus to enter into my life.  He did and I was alive for the 1^st time in my life.  I felt like I could fly.  I felt so alive. 

   

  The days that followed were so fresh and so filled full of life.  I confessed Jesus as my Lord and Savior to many different people.  I set the course of my life towards the Kingdom of God.  I continue to be filled full of life because of Jesus.

   

  (apologies to Dr. Seuss)

  “Today I’m fully me, that’s truer than true.  I am alive and you can be too.”

   

  I love Jesus and He’s the best. I love HIS boss and all the rest.

   

  I love my family, I love to say, I love them more and more each day.
  
  I love to work among my peers. I love their leers ‘n jeers ‘n cheers.

  
  I love my city and its location. I love the extreme sensation.
  
  I’m praying for America, I am, I am…I’m praying for you Uncle Sam, I am.
  
  

  Do the A,B,C’s of Salvation and be full of life.

  A – Admit you’re a sinner

  B – Believe Jesus died for your sins

  C – Confess Jesus as Lord of your life and live for Him
