Theos-Talk Archives (December 1999 Message tt00023)

Merry Christmas to you too, Eldon.  Thanks for your work maintaining the
List-server and keeping things running smoothly.

It's 11.30pm here in England.  We have just had a week of snow and ice.  Now
the weather has warmed up for Christmas some parts of the country are
experiencing floods!  A large part of the southern coastal region is on Red
Alert due to the heavy rainfall, gale force winds increasing the high waves
off the sea.

How everything changes!


Best wishes for the new Millenium.  May we each add something of real value
to the spiritual welfare of ALL in the year to come.

...Peter
