There’s no place like home for the holidays

Holly Springs is my hometown. I was born here eons ago and it has changed a lot in my lifetime. As I drive through now, memories of what happened here flood my mind and I find myself going back in time.

A lot of great people have come out of this place, not all famous. You don’t have to be famous to be great. As a matter of fact, sometimes it is vice-versa. We have produced some unique individuals here.

I have lived all over the United States but came back here to rear my children as I felt this was a safe, good, wonderful place for rearing a family. That means not just letting them grow but guiding them with the help of the Lord Jesus and the church.

So, I love Holly Springs; the people here are like my extended family, so I love you, too. So live up to it!

Be great, be good, depend on the Lord and He will carry you through. Call Him up on the hotline; the line is never busy.

The most unbelievable thing about Christmas is that poem about children hanging their stockings by the chimney with care. Only a few of us have chimneys now. Stockings are a thing of the past; and whoever heard of a kid hanging something up. When my own children were little, they were telling me what all they wanted for Christmas. When we got to the last one, he said, “all I want is a magic wand!”

I keep losing things – my glasses, my keys. Those Christmas cards I bought on sale for half price last year, I can’t find.

At the museum we wish each of you a Happy Christmas and remember our Lord Jesus is what we are celebrating. Come see us next week and bring your guests. We will be open on Tuesday through Saturday.
