Christmas morning is absolutely glorious!  I can't tell you how great it feels to have the waves of joy coming out of The Afterlife!  Only one kind of unusual thing to report.  As soon as all the dead zones in the world were shut down Muhammed came to Jesus and said "I want the three American soldiers that died in Iraq yesterday.  I want you to release them from the Edict holding them out of The Kingdom Of God."  Jesus looked at him rather startled, but then answered, "Of course!  If you want them they're yours!"
 Muhammed quickly gathered the quite bewildered soldiers and took them to the part of The Kingdom Of God where Those from Iraq dwelled, to the area controlled by the relatives of those who had murdered Them.  He sat them down on thrones in the midst of these people and said "Your relatives in the material world wish to live by the old law.  So be it!  By the old law shall they be judged.  They are cowards.  They attack from ambush.  They shed innocent blood.  Behold, your new rulers.  From this day forth they have dominion over all of you.  They are the chiefs of all your tribes, your authority in all civil matters.  You are to pay to them all homage, show to them all respect."
All the unattached women quickly came forward, sat down at the American soldiers' feet and cried "Master!"
"Good!" Muhammed cried, "The women here understand what I am saying and show obedience to their rulers.  Now, I make a decree in the name of The One True God, in The Name Of Allah.   Your relatives in the material world will never have any prosperity.  Everything that they try to do will fail.  Every effort they make will be useless.  Until they find the blood of these men and go to them and say 'Come and rule over us.  Because of the blood on our hands we can have no peace.  Accept dominion over us and free us from God's curse!  Become our chiefs, our rulers, and all that we have will be yours.'  And when these people shall rule over them then they shall prosper like no others, and all good things shall come to them.  This is the command of Allah, given through His Prophet."
Muhammed turned and started to walk off, and one of the American soldiers cried out, "Sir, I can't rule over these people!  I don't know anything about them!  This is crazy!"  Muhammed turned back to them and smiled, answering, "Nothing that God does, sir, is crazy!  You will learn, and you will do very well.  Enjoy Paradise!"  With that Muhammed departed.
These are the strangest, strangest times!  There has never been anything like them and we all pray there'll never be anything like them again!  Boy, do we pray that!

Iran got a fortunate break yesterday because of the Christmas truce.  We can shut down the spiritual dead zones rather quickly, but it takes us several days to get them back up again.  So when the earthquake hit Iran its dead zones were still down.  So none of its people were trapped in the material realm, their Souls were able to exit directly to The Afterlife, much to the joy of all of Their relatives!
Speaking of the dead zones, there has been some talk for some time that The Orthodox Church, like The Catholic Church, should be rewarded for their stand against homosexuality, that one of their dead zones should be lifted, also.  But there was a great deal of debate over which one.  It has finally been decided that Balikesir, Turkey, will be the one shut down, or, in this particular case, not reestablished.  The continuing increase of spiritual energy into The Kingdom Of God is what is making it possible for us to shut down the dead zones, the peoples' increasing obedience and rejection of the teaching of man is giving Everyone hope.  We only pray it can continue to grow!
A certain world leader was given an unprecedented gift Christmas Eve. I cannot speak of it, but it's definitely a gift that should be responded to.  This individual still has the opportunity to be one of the most famous people of history, to be remembered for all time if he would follow the wishes of The Kingdom Of God.

Was talking to our friend Jesse the other day and he asked if Haven had any polar ice caps.  Strangely, though it was just about the size of Earth and had just about the same land to sea ratio, its continents were so situated that warm currents constantly flowed into the northern and the southern polar regions. In the winter of both hemispheres the oceans would ice over. But during the summer months they were always ice free.  Haven was very kind to travelers.  People got around very easily.  There were no land masses on the equator. You could sail completely around the world without ever touching land!  It was called The Great River.  That two worlds can be so much alike, yet, so different, is often fascinating.
