Merry Christams and happy New Year to the entire Collo people directly and Sudanese in particular and to the whole world nations in general.
May the Nativity Celebration of our Lord bring love; joy; peace, health and prosperty to our honorable community through out our life time.

GENESIS 1:26 God said, " let us make man in our image, in our likness and let him rule over creatures that move in air, ground and seas".

My brothers and sister, God is love and since human was made in the God image, we should live loving ourselves unconditionally to prove we obey and listen to our Creator's commands.

Tell me who among us brothers and sisters, approach girl or boy for emotional gain and behave rudely or badly.
But instead,to be accepted by a girl or a girl to be accepted by a boy needs humility, kindness, truthfulness, caring, forgiving, listening, gentlness, friendly, compassion and generosity etc.

Through these values, we assert our likness to our God and He therefore can accept to dwell in our bodies as temples. Through them, young girl and boy become life partners and bring other lives to our world.
Through these blessed values, blessings and graces of our God continue pouring on those He favours and through them, evil has no chance to mislead God people.

My brothers and sisters, we are all in problems from the time of creation and our sufferings are accumulating and becoming complex to solve daily as we distant ourselves from God. From the time our ancestrals disobeyed God, fear, killing, looting, stealing, laying, cheating, greedy, selfish, stingy and adultry become human cultures.
But, since God is love and because He love us, He set His beloved Son Jesus Christ on His redemptive mission.
The firstly heaven-salvation words to our ears were as follow.
Luke 2:14 "Glory to God in heaven and on earth, peace among those He favours".
It was right there, the salvation was shown.

But can we keep that peace especially when evil still determines to divide and destroy even within one family?

Yes, we can keep that peace brothers and sisters if each one begin implementing his/her human values to him/her{self) and to his/her nieghbors. Self-liberation could bring general salvation and it will begin first with suffering people like you and me because suffering is discipline for future duties.

To have constructive solution to problems and difficulties facing our community and our world, I therefore urge you and myself to reconcile and forgive. Let us look around ourselves and see who is not talking to who and how you think such attitude might has negative impact in doing good and cooperation. Doing this is real give to our Lord Nativity celebration and it will help us to work as team. So let our theme for 2008 Christmas be, "reconciliation, forgiveness and cooperation".
