    Dear Readers In Tis Issue

    Reason for the SeasonLuke 2:11

    Hey guys. Welcome to Light HouseRecords. Ive been thinking about doingthis for a while. Something that we canpick up and read once a month. Some-thing fun the whole youth can get together

    and do. Everyone can have a part to dosomething they love. And when weredone, we can show not only the world butalso ourselves that theirs more to being aYouth Christian.

    We can have fun. We can care aboutfashion. We know exactly what the latestcoolest car on the market is right now orwhat video game everyone should beplaying. We can still rock out with the bestof them to music that gets us pumping butglorifies God at the same time.

    Im not exactly sure how successfulthis will be but Im hoping everyone hasa story their dying to tell. It doesnt materhow small; to God its important.

    So heres to the first issue of LightHouse Records. Ready, Set Go

    Caden Jace by Christie ClarkeWhen I think about what

    m going to tell my son whene asks that question, Whenid you know you waned me?get very tongue tied, andhoked up. I really haventdecided on what I will say,ecause Im not sure I could

    ell themhe truthbout howe cameo be. Theruth is, it

    was theiggest

    mistake of my life. The truths that I slept with someone Iadnt known but a day, didnt

    ove, and wasnt married too.ve had a big problem beinglone and I didnt know how to

    o it. I didnt know I was preg-ant for 3 weeks, and in thatme I was drinking, and doinghings I shouldnt, not know-ng there was a baby formingnside me. The sad part is,s that I preached to this boy

    No one will ever be moreof a man then him. It takesa great deal of strength todo what he has done for me.He is going to be a father ofa baby thats not his, and heloves him so much already.Because of him, I know I cando this. My pregnancy is thevery opposite of easy. Im veryill. I have a lot of complica-

    tions, and I am astonishedthat he is alive, with all thestress and accidents I havehad. He may not ever win aHeisman trophy, or save theworld, or be in a history bookbut Caden is a miracle child tome. I will tell him thateveryday. He was nevermeant to happen, and Istruggled for months onwhether to keep him.Because of Caden, my life

    has changed. I am the bestversion of myself I have everbeen. I have never beencloser to God, and I havechanged all my horrible,repeating ways.

    about how important Jesuswas to me and how much Iwastrying to do better. It wasnothing but hypocrisy.

    I didnt want him. I wasterrifed. I didnt think I wouldever be able to go to church

    again with what had hap-pened, or if I could ever gohome. The only person I hadto turn to was a boy I hadhurt a lot. A boy I loved verydeeply. A boy I took advan-tage of.Despite everything that hashappened in our past he andhis family some-what, tookme in. Dont get me wrong, Ihave always wanted a child,it is all I have ever talkedabout, but not this way. I was

    going to give him up so thatthe boy I loved would takeme back. He did take meback. Caden, and I. He be-came a man in my eyes thatday. It all became so clear.

    Caden has saved meand he has created a

    Its been about two years now, that i hhad a job and now its just aggravating, especially this time of year. Its Christime and the only way my friends and family are going to get presents is if isome work. Whats worst is a friend of mine is having a baby and I dont hthe cash to get her a present, but Im going to try to find some way to get hsomething. One of the hardest things about being broke is when my friendme up and ask if I want to do something. I have to tell them no because I want them to always being paying for me.

    Teres also the matters of bills; everyone has them. Phone, cable, cards, electric and house payments, the list goes on. Not everyone has a

    those bills especially if youre living at home but tat least have to pay 3 out of 5 of them. I o

    course have alot of the above mentionedand on top of that sometimes my fami

    needs a little help buying groceries ahelp their own paying bills.

    And its really boring witho

    job. I have nothing to do or ato hang out with a lot of the t

    hate when theres nothing ontelevision and I dont have a vid

    game or friend to play with. And

    course calling up friends is out of question because theyre all workin

    since they actually have jobs.

    So its safe to say not having a jdifficult. If youre someone whos witho

    job, which I include myself, then I wish luck and youre in my prayers

    ing for the toys theyve always

    wanted. Dont get me wrong; I

    love getting presents and I love

    giving them even more. Every

    November I write down all myfriends and family and plan out

    when Im going to get them. Its

    so much fun for me because I

    love that look in a persons eye

    when you get them something

    you know theyll love forever.

    But despite all that, it s still not

    the reason we should be cel-

    ebrating.

    For one moment, turn on

    your TV and check ABC, Nickel-

    odeon and Disney Channel. Im

    sure you can tell me how horri-

    ble a year without Santa Clause

    would be. Im very sure Scott

    Calvin has taught you four dif-

    ferent ways to say Kris Kringle.

    Reason For The Season

    Christmas is that time of

    ear when family you havent

    een in ages flies in from all

    ver the country to visit. Its the

    month where that itchy sweat-r covered in bows that your

    reat-great-great aunt Mel sent

    ou is some how brought back

    o life. Its the most wonderful

    me of the year because for a

    moment even people who hate

    ach other all year long forego

    heir animosity to celebrate.

    ut, is family, sweaters and fake

    eace the reason for the sea-

    on.

    All over the world people

    re running around, searching,

    or the perfect Christmas gift.

    Children, still young enough

    o believe, are seated at tables

    writing letters to Santa, ask-

    by Honor Stewart

    But find me, without checking

    any Christian stations, a movie

    about a Jesus. I dare you to

    search threw all 1000 of your

    Dish, Comcast and U-verse

    stations for the real reason for

    this holiday season. You can

    try, but you wont find him on

    any of the family stations. Why,

    because weve forgotten, were

    too busy or we dont care.

    In a manager and

    wrapped in swaddling clothes,

    a baby was born. In a stable

    surrounded with an audience

    of animals and wise men be-

    cause there was no room in

    the inn, Mary and Joseph first

    set eyes on their baby boy.

    Even back then while the Sav-

    ior of the world was being

    born, people everywhere were

    too busy to know.

    I think Kirk Franklins got

    it right in his song Jesus is The

    Reason for The Season. He

    writes I dont need no mate-

    rial things. All I need is the love

    you bring. This holiday, I cam

    say. That Jesus is, the only w

    So while youre out shoppin

    for those presents you just h

    to have and that dinner that

    has been insisted on. And e

    Christmas morning when yo

    sharing morning breakfast a

    gathered around opening p

    ents. Remember who was b

    this day and that he is the tr

    reason for the season.

    For unto you is born this d

    in the city of David a Savio

    which is Christ the LORD (

    2:11).

    At Harbor of Hope, we believe that there is unlimited

    hope in Jesus Christ, and it is our job to share the hopefound in our savior with everyone that we meet.

    We desire to be a safe place for people

    who have been hurt in any way.

    We are not the traditional church.We are a

    community of believers who have but one goal to sharethe love, hope, and compassion that Jesus has for the

    hurting people of this generation. Tis generation is in

    need of a savior a hero and he is Jesus Christ, the

    center of everything that we do.
