As in 2004, I was deeply blessed to have the opportunity to experience everyone’s spiritual gifts working to make this a successful project.  Please thank them individually for what they have done to make this a special devotional guide for Southeast Baptist Church.

My prayer is that you will all have a well fed spiritual fish as you meditate about Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace and For Unto Us a Child is Born this Advent Season.

In Christ’s Service,         Lonnie Baxley
