Oh, God. Touch our hearts and bring us closer to YOU.
Connie sent this to Claudia and me last night.
You will NOT want to miss this.
Get comfortable for about 5 1/2 minutes.
Incredible!!! Thank you, Jesus… Thank you, Jesus!!!
This is one of the BEST videos I’ve seen regarding Israel’s right to the land.
You do NOT want to miss this.
As the whole world seethes in disdain for her, please, support Israel. Love her. Pray for her. KNOW THE FACTS, and be ready to give an answer!
You will love this.
Only Greg would come up with something like this
Click on the Red Arrow, and Enjoy!
Oh God, give me a heart more and more and more for Jesus!!!

Not knowing the German Language, we were a little intimidated by German restaurants. We therefore ate at what we were acquainted with... sigh. This is just off the Zeil in Frankfurt.

In the States, if you see the sign of the fish, it more than likely means the establishment is Christian. In Germany it means it is a fish market. This was just off the Zeil in Frankfurt.

Pat and his son, Patrick Jr. This was during a festival in Romerberg Square, Frankfurt. How about those BIG glasses.

We walked and walked and walked around Frankfurt. This is right next to the Main River with Cathedral in the background. When we got back to the States, we found out Dad had Prostate Cancer, yet he didn't slow down at all while in Europe.

This was so typical. Patrick Jr was always clowning for the camera, and I always had a camera up to my eye, both movie and still. This is the south side of the Main River in Frankfurt. Our Hotel was just across the bridge in the background, just north of the river.

A gentle rain in the park behind our hotel. This was the first week of June and the temps were very cool and rainy. We carried jackets and umbrellas everywhere. We were at the end of our walk, and deserved a good rest.

This was in Darmstadt, Germany. Remember, we were on a child kidnap case. This was the street where the grandmother of the child lived, and it was suspected the mother and child lived with the grandmother. We were purposely making our presence known, so the mother and grandmother would know they were caught, and we would not go away. Eyes were peering at us from many windows, as few foreigners were seen in this part of town.

This is the house on the previous street where the grandmother, mother and child lived. Yep, we were bold about letting them know we had caught them. We met with their attorney and arranged for correspondence with the father. It was fun watching Dad work. HE was the master at this kind of investigation.

More of making our presence known on the street. You could almost FEEL the eyes peering at us, and hear the phones dialing and ringing. It worked. Mother and child were caught.

This is in the hills above Heidelberg. This is in a German War Cemetery. Graves were from WWI and WWII. The cemetery was beautifully kept. Interesting, I had always thought of the U.S. war dead, but never thought about the German war dead. It was a real awakening. It was a very reverent place.

German War Cemetery above Heidelberg. Inscriptions of the names of the war dead. It was a Beautiful cemetery. Just a ways to the right was an area where you could overlook Heidelberg. As I understand it, the Allies spared Heidelberg in the bombing of Germany.
I can’t believe it, but some of our listeners have requested me to post pictures of my trip to Germany back in 1995. I was a brand new Private Investigator from Texas. Dad was a Private Investigator with a California license. We had taken my son, Patrick, with us on a child kidnap case to Germany.
It wasn’t until I got back and studied the travel books, that I understood the wonderful history we walked among there in Europe… history for Protestant and Catholics alike.
Oh, how I want to return with Claudia, travel books in hand, and visit the sites where lives were put on the line for the Gospel.

Tripod and camera falling before pic is snapped. We are on the west end of the Zeil in Frankfurt. Pirate is an advertisement for Eurofest. The Church is Katherinekirche (Church of St. Katherine). The original church was bombed in raids during WWII, and rebuilt on the same spot. It was here in 1522 that the first Protestant sermon was preached in Frankfurt.

Patrick Jr clowning for camera, as always. We were on the way to Romerberg Square, just north of the Main River. In the background is Nikolaikirche (Church of St. Nicholas). It was built during the late 13th century as the court chapel for the Holy Roman Emperors.

The Romer (City Hall) is in the background. It is comprised of three buildings dating back to 1562. It was here banquets were held to celebrate the coronations of the Holy Roman Emperor.

Entrance to Romerberg Square, which had been the center of civic life for centuries there in Frankfurt. Pictured are Patrick Jr and Pat Sr (Pat's Dad). Nikolaikirche (Church of St Nicholas is in the background.

Dad and Patrick Jr standing in Romerberg Square. Kaiserdom (Church of St Bartholomew) is in the background.

Patrick Jr and Pat along the Main River. The Main River is a main thoroughfare for Germany. It flows west to the Rhine River. One of many beautiful cathedrals rises in the background.

This picture taken just to the west of St. Bartholomew Church. Patrick Jr is standing amidst the ruins of an ancient Roman settlement, and the foundations of a Carolingian Imperial Palace.

This is Kaiserdom, St. Bartholomew Cathedral Tower. It was built over 100 years, from 1415 - 1514. It rises 300 feet and is made of Red Sandstone. The church dates from 1290, and was used primarily for Imperial Coronations. During WWII during the bombing raids of Germany, Allied Troops spared this church because of its rich history.

Knock Knock. No one home. This is one of the side entrances to St Bartholomew Church. Notice intricate inlay on doors, dating back to 1290.

Dad standing in front of our hotel in Frankfurt, The Luxor, just north of the Main River on the East Side of Frankfurt. We would walk down the street in the background to get to the Zeil and Romerberg Square.

If you love breakfast, but don't like fish, you had a hard time at the continental breakfast at the Luxor. Here, Patrick Jr is testing the "snake" as he called it. It was actually rolled fish. Since we are not fish eaters, we ate a lot of rolls with honey, and an occasional bowl of cornflakes.
This is absolutely one of the most HEAVENLY, BEAUTIFUL things that have ever been sent to me. Thank you to Koen Veltman, a precious friend, for sending this to me. Now I share it with you.

Pat, Ericka and our grandson Kaleb finally made it to our home here in NC. It was a

Ericka & Patrick at the NC Zoo
19 hour trip which they drove straight through. They hate stopping. We were thrilled when they arrived at 1am Sunday morning. They brought with them presents, happiness, love… and the FLU!!!
Yep, Kaleb had thrown up on the way, in Birmingham. They thought it was just car sickness, but yesterday about noon Ericka came down with it.

Claudia, Little Producer, Ericka, Kaleb - Zoo Buddies
Last night about 2am Patrick quickly headed to the bathroom, burying his head in the toilet… 4 times.
We are all praying Little Possum doesn’t come down with it. So far, so good.
Claudia and I have had flu shots long enough ago to have activated and given a spec of protection. We are bathed in prayer, as well. I think I would rather undergo most anything, than being sick to my stomach and throwing up. YUUUUUUK!!!
It seems to be the 24 hour type, so Patrick should be up and doing better tonight.
We were going to see the Tanglewood Lights tonight, a light display that is dazzling

The Lights at Tanglewood - A Christmas Tradition
for the kids. It is a tradition for us, but looks like we may have to put that off a day until Patrick gets to feeling better.
So, please be in prayer for us all.

Oh, Kaleb and Ericka are doing fine now. Both are up, eating and active.
We pray health for each of you.
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
No hesitation saying that, here
Some of you have wondered where Claudia and I have been. You have noticed the

Fall At Our Little Home In Asheboro, NC
programs of Praise Until Dawn have been previously recorded.
Well, Claudia has been recuperating from her surgical procedure a week ago. She has spent practically the entire time asleep in bed, which is where she needed to be. That is good, because the procedure she had greatly reduces her immune system, making her very vulnerable to infection and disease.

Grampy & His Little Producer Watching "Max & Ruby"
With Mandy and Jonathan working that left the duty to me of taking care of our Little Producer – OH WHAT A TIME… Grampy & Little Producer. She and I would play and read books and watch “Maggie and the Ferocious Beast” and “Yo Gabba Gabba” and “Little Bill” and “Max and Ruby”. I would let her eat what she asked for (to Mandy’s great consternation – but that is a Grampy’s RIGHT
) ), and she would crawl up in my lap and put her head on my chest when she was tired. I would put her to bed with her Christmas Praise music on.
Now, there is one thing that comes with the RIGHT of being a Grampy, and that is we get to catch every cold and flu our grand babies catch. YEP. I caught Little Producer’s HORRIBLE cold. I started coming down with it Thanksgiving Day, and have gone down hill ever since. It was so bad, I lost my voice Monday, and couldn’t go On The Air.
I’m still taking care of Little Producer while her mommy and daddy work, trying to keep her away from Grammy – YEAH… try to keep a grand baby away from a Grammy.
I’m better today, able to talk a bit, so I’m aiming to be On The Air today at 5pm

Linda (My Sister) and Claudia
Eastern Time. Claudia should be by my side… well, I’m trying to keep a distance from her so she won’t catch my cold, either.
So, that is the story of where we have been. I have told you we try NEVER to miss being On The Air. If you don’t see us in our seats on the webcam, you can bet something important came up, or we are too ill to come in.
THANK YOU for all your prayers. We love you all soooo much.
OH BY THE WAY… our son, Patrick, set us up a Twitter Account. I will enter things from time to time to let you know what is going on… short little snippits. It is fun. You can keep up with us at: www.twitter.com/pbnradio
