Pop's Christmas List

Some of you have asked what Pop wants for Christmas. His original list had one item, a sweater, which I have already purchased. So we finally pursuaded him to write a longer list. [I've left off the "underwear".]

dress winter hat--more like Indiana Jones than Captain Ramias--in a color other than brown

athletic shorts, not too short, Adidas [please, for all our sakes', no old-school basketball]

classical CDs by good orchestras with known conductors: (someone Bob K. would recognize and recommend, Pop says)
Mozart
Bach
Handel
Hayden
Tchaikovsky
Vivaldi

then, after giving it even more thought he suggests

a donation to Harvest Ministry in Philadelphia and prayer for its ministry to those who struggle with sexual sin

a donation to Christ Academy at Grace Reformed Episcopal Chruch in Colingdale, PA and prayer for Mike Fitzpatrick and the faculty and student body. Christ Academy is a classical boys high school near Philadelphia. Many of their students are from Liberia.

a donation to Barnabas Aid and prayer for those who suffer poverty and persecution for their faith in Christ

Love, Mom

Pop has bought himself some Christmas gifts. So for those who still want to give a tangible present I have a belt, a hat, gloves, and socks up for grabs!
