By Arnold Krusemark Ready or not this is the week-end of Christmas this year. Whatever plans you have will have to do although over the years we’ve had last minute items we can sure remember (good and bad). With rarest exception one important thing was the Christmas dinner and guests. Then any presents to share and conversation too. By then it was time for an second food service usually with a second piece of pie or whatever. Then it was time to head for home. As hinted above sometimes there was last minute events to change our plans and sometimes it was how we got together and who we were with.

Flight into Egypt through the Eyes of a Weary Traveler (Remnants of a trip to Assisi) Story was inspired by Shellee Leif. “Would you—from a message of an angel, leave your family and all you know and go where I ask you to go?” It’s a fair question we all must come to terms with at some point in our faith journey.

By John Stenen Here we are, celebrating Christmas once again. How shall we do it? Typically we have time off from work; we usually eat pretty good, and we spend lots of money that could have been better spent for necessary items, but, it’s all good, right?

My question is, ‘Where is Jesus in all of this?’

On Tuesday, December 12th by played a strong HBC team who would come into the game undefeated and a 3-1 Canby Lancer team in a non-conference battle Friday. Hills came into the game averaging 76 points per game and they were giving up 59, sporting a well balanced attack from all areas of the court.

The Rebels would finish off their third game in a row at home Friday night vs. an aggressive Canby Lancer team. The Lancers came into the game with a 3-1 record, averaging 62 points per game and were giving up 52, for a plus 10-point differential. The expectations of this game came to fruition as it seems like most Rebels games have this year. Two good teams, battling it out down to the wire.

The MCC Rebel Girls were in Tyler on Thursday to take on the RTR Knights in a Red Rock Conference matchup. The Rebels have played the Knights for years, so the game isn’t that big of a change, but what will be different is how fast the teams will play again this season later in the year now that RTR has joined the Red Rock Conference. In the first meeting of the season, the game would come down to a key run in the middle of the first half.
