SMOKE ON THE WIND

January 29, 2010 Rev. Thomas “Dancing Feather” Ebbing

Wow! The new year is upon us and it is my birthday month. Yes, I celebrate the whole month.

Why? you may ask. Well, my birthday is the last day of January and I just think it is good and proper and a heck of a lot of fun to have a birthday month. You can do it too. Try it. I guarantee you will like it and it will be a wonderful life changing event.

I love to get birthday cards, don’t you? I will make you a deal. You send me a card for my birthday month and I will send you a card every year on your birthday month.

Do we have a deal?

Stop and think for a moment, how it would be if we celebrated the birth of Jesus for a whole month. Concentrate just on Jesus. Oh my God, is that beautiful or what? Just to say that wonderful name!

From My Heart,

Rev. Thomas Dancing Feather Ebbing

Halloween Poem
by local poet, David Sowards Little creatures prowl on beggar’s night.Looking to cause their neighbor’s fright.In quest of candy, they want to eat.They knock on doors and go, “trick or treat!”Cowboys, movie stars, and mummies.Look for goodies to feed their tummies.Witches, ghosts, and little vampires.Dance in costumes around bonfires.Monsters and superheroes go door to door.Collect their ...
