An Army Life at Christmas
Now the Christmas season is past us I can sit and reflect upon my childhood and see how The Army had a major influence on the lives of me and my family.
As the child of Officers, Christmas is one thing. Chaos. That word seems to sum it up greatly. There wasn't a Christmas growing up where one would be able to sit and bask in the glow the lights or take in the decorations. It seemed that we were being stretched from one point to another.
Over the next few days, I am going to do my best to dig up some old Christmas stories that you might find interesting.
Stay Tuned...

This sounds really interesting and I have some great stories related to The Salvation Army that I would like to share.

We are trying to locate Chris Keillor. Have him contact his father in Michigan.

Hi all, I've left two comments had alittle trouble logging on initially.For those that visit this site I wish to say Christmas wis a busy time at the SA. It can become burdensome because of the great need. The only negative that matters is much of the time we as a entity end up focussing on the physical need rather than the spiritual. Booth realized there were physical needs that sometime precluded a person getting in right stead with Christ. There is a great physical need in the world today but there is a much greater spirtual need. As members of the SA we need to continually focus on this fact whether at Christmas or any other time of the year. God bless one and all- Howard
Its me again-sorry for my mispelled words, my spelling and typing- terrible- take your pick they both get an F . However if I practice more maybe I'll get a little better Howard
