It is our hope that during this season of celebration, we would each take the time to reflect on how blessed we are, not for worldly things, but for the knowledge and assurance that our Creator cared enough about us to send his own Son to pay a debt that we alone owed.
We know that there are times that everyone will suffer on earth and sometimes it is only through reflection on God's Christmas gift, the best gift ever given, that we can lay aside our sorrows, and fears, and enjoy life. For our friends and loved ones that are suffering illness, loss of loved ones, persecution, or other distress, we suffer with you. For those that have overcome, we rejoice.
Please take time to thank God for the gift He gave. Look around and see if you can share His love with someone near you. By doing so, you will be glorifying God, thus giving Him a gift in return.
Merry Christmas!
Stephen, Becky and Kids.

"During the opening months of my presidential campaign, I have traveled our country and
my heart has been warmed. My experiences have reinvigorated my faith in the greatness of
Americans. They have reminded me that societies are renewed from the bottom up, not the
top down. Everywhere I go, I see people of love and faith, taking time to help a neighbor
in need... These people and thousands like them are the heart and soul and greatness of
America. And I want to do my part. I am running for President because I believe America
must seize this moment, America must lead. We must give our prosperity a greater purpose,
a purpose of peace and freedom and hope. We are a great nation of good and loving people.
And together, we have a charge to keep."
For years now, when people all over Glenn Heights have dialed 911, they found the first person to arrive at their door or at the
scene
of an accident has been Glenn Heights Fire Chief Mike Burgett. Chief Mike Burgett, who is both a paramedic and a certified fireman,
has personally helped to save many lives and
has trained many other individuals in emergency life saving procedures and other property saving fire department procedures.
As the
Chief of
our Volunteer Fire Department, Chief Burgett has sacrificed to provide life and property protection to everyone in
Glenn Heights and surrounding areas
even though the City could not yet afford to pay for this type of service.
Right by Chief Burgett's side at many of the emergency calls has been his wife Kim Burgett. Kim, who is also a trained EMT
Medic, currently serves
as the President of the Glenn Heights Volunteer Fire Department and also heads up the City's Junior Fire
Marshall Program. Through this program, Kim has taught safety and prevention to elementary students in both the DeSoto
and Red Oak
Independent School Districts and she has led the students to participate in community service activities as well. Both
Mike and Kim have given of themselves for this City and the surrounding areas through their work in the local
schools, public service,
and emergency life saving training and through actual emergency responses when needed.
Now, in a reversal of roles, it is Mike and Kim and their young son Cole that need our help.........

The City that Mike Burgett has faithfully served for the past several years has failed him, but we as citizens
can still rise above our leadership and come to his aid.
Please Keep Giving!
