with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil.” Think about it; Jesus was the most wonderful man that ever lived on this earth. He is God. He came to earth, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and died on the cross as our substitute so that you and I might have eternal life - if we accept Him, repent of our sinful lives and serve Him. So why does most of the world still reject Him, even hate Him, even though they say that they do not believe in Him?

THEOLOGY IN THE TRENCHES The Warmth of the Manger without the Cold of Night Theology in the Trenches By Kathleen Kjolhaug Christmas pajamas are always stylin this time of year. The comfort offered, the warmth of cozy, and the feel of fabric encapsulating adds to the quiet physical surround sound.

By Arnold Krusemark After last week’s lengthy epistle, its time to get some work done. At least we tried to list some of the year’s remaining work to get done. As previously mentioned mail service has been slowed - primarily from the overload of mail especially packages. In past years when we still had Sears and Wards we placed at least one order. Now its Amazon. com. And we’ve been told they overloaded the mail service. Our order have been placed and promises made we will have our merchandise in time for Christmas Day.

The 2024/25 wrestling season has begun and the Fulda/ Murray County Central Warriors are making a great start to their season heading to Marshall, MN for a Quad against the Windom Cobras, Adrian Dragons, and the Marshall Tigers. The Warriors this year have a full roster with many alternates. First up were the Windom Cobras and the first new wrestler of the year, who isn’t new to the program, was Dane Hansen at 107 lbs. who received a forfeit for his first match of the year. Another new wrestler this year who made his debut in the youth program as well, was Luke Sweetman at 114 lbs. Sweetman went the distance with Evan Kish of the Cobras and ended in a 7-10 decision giving the Cobras 3 points. Kaston Clark took on Mitch Voehl at 121 lbs and scored 4 team points in a 12-7 major decision. Adam Iverson fell to Carson Wall at 127, and Hunter Reese lost by decision at 133, putting the Cobras up 13 -10. Football quarterback Teague Meyer, at 139 lbs, won by 2 points after 3 periods of wrestling against Dagen Hansen. Brayden Gilb and Noah Mathiowetz found some strength in the Cobras lineup at 145 and 152, both losing by technical fall, putting the Cobras up 22-13. But the Warriors had more to offer and exposed the weakness of the Cobras, taking the last five matches. Cousins Quintin Lewis and Carson Lewis both received forfeits, followed by a fall from Carson Klein at 189 against Sam Hernandez. Isaiah Wolske, a senior recruit from TMB, scored six for the Warriors at 215 and was followed by a forfeit to Colby Kesteloot at Heavyweight, finishing the dual 42-22. Warriors start the season with a dual win.
