I'm afraid there is very little on Monteagle to hold him."Two children sat on the extreme end of the broken steps; one was pale, thin, hollow-eyed and sorrowful.

It must be high, and cool, and still. I wonder what it feels like to be cool and still? Oh! How 'hot' it is!

For God had sent a Savior—His one and only Son.  The shepherds had been watching their flocks that quiet night. When an angel appeared, they were terrified with fright. ‘Do not be afraid. For I bring to you good news: Today a Savior has been born!’ And then the shepherds knew. Happy Birthday, Jesus! We give You all the praise.
