Feliz Navidad y Prospero Ano Nuevo!

Merry Christmas from Bill and Alice Johnson on the motor vessel "Grey Wolf"

At the time of this writing we are anchored in the harbor at Zihuatanejo. Some call it Z-what and others call it Z-town. When you look at the spelling you understand why I just call it Z-town.

Every day we are so thankful that we are able to travel south and see the beauty of God's creation. As I looked out the window this morning I saw banana trees and coconut trees with a variety of shades that surround this bay. We are taking some pictures but they will not do this place justice as there is always a bit of haze. (The common way to get rid of trash in Mexico is just BURN it.)

But even with these great gifts that God has given we are now coming to the time when we celebrate the greatest gift of all: the birth of Christ and His coming into the world to provide our Salvation.

When you have time, read Phillipians 2- the whole chapter, but concentrate on verses 6 through 8. This gives us insight into the great love that God has for us. We think of the wise men who came and brought gifts to the Savior, and it is still the wise man or woman that sees Christmas as a time to bring our thanks to Him.

We truly hope that you will take time and Praise Him and Thank Him that we have Christmas! And, remember that as we share our gifts, we have received the greatest gift ever. BNJ

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
