Hi Ownbey Email members

(This is too long so it is ok if you skip it. We will highlight some of it Sunday so you miss nothing by not reading it.)
------------------
See you in the morning I hope. Durward is back from skiing at the Olympics and he will talk to us about how to walk on water and not fall in the snow. Should be a good ending to the book Gaston started last week.

Don Hammer is away and I am working on getting ready for our class.

Here are items for class tomorrow - feel free to skip them
 

  1. LIBOR - do you know what that is, if not check my minutes of the recent Administrative Board meeting.
  2. Adults Plus! - Meeting on 3/20/02 with Carlita Hunter, "nationally know leader  of workshops in drama, recreation, folk dancing, photography, and clowning." 10:30 a.m. Link on Church page for a info. Remember trips to Savannah and Lake Junaluska
  3. Dr Page -  He spoke at the retreat this weekend and will preach different sermons Sunday at 8:30 and 11.  He is great! Wonder if he will wear his T Shirt and Blue Jeans again? He has a couple of books and they are Jesus and the Land and The Land and the Book - both are good. Click on the titles and look at info on them on Amazon.com.  Also he has a "charter" subscription for a monthly CD with info, pictures, and articles for $79.95 and I have order forms.  His web page is www.jeruslem-center.org or www.jcbs.org.  I am having a hard time making a good link so I did not link it to this e-mail.  As our church literature told us, he is a professor in Jerusalem and is an archaeologist - and, I will add, a fine speaker. Click here for some pictures. Find "Page Retreat" on the left if link works.   ...    He told us the surprising answers to the following:
    1. Why did Jesus ride a donkey into Jerusalem [(a) Humility, (b) sign of royalty, (c) Horse not yet invented] ?
    2. What did Jesus do on Wednesday and Thursday of Holy Week?
    3. What was a reason Jesus was  on trial {(a) He said he was God (b) he Said he Knew God (c) He said God's name)
