Welcome to CL-MASA-FAM'IA

Christian Friends,

We have our original five Christian Living Blogs. Also, we now have twelve interest sites started, which we will gradually add information; plus we are starting a Christian Family Blog for people to share ideas of family entertainment, past-time, recreation, etc. and a Heritage Blog. Also see my family's and Nellie's personal pages. You can link to them from our home site “Christian Living – CL’MASA-FAM’IA” www.christianlivingclmasafamia.blogspot.com

Beaver Creek / Camp Dream is not part of Christian Living but some of the same people are administrators of both and Christian Living does actively pray for the Beaver Creek / Camp Dream Programs.

In Christ, NaomiLeah

Wishing everyone a Very Blessed Christmas & A New Year

 Hi, Everyone!
I haven’t been on here for some time and probably won’t be much for some time, but I wanted to wish everyone a Blessed Christmas and a Victorious New Year!
I’ve been helping my sisters care for our elderly parents and dealing with some physical problems of my own. Dad is doing a lot better now from his stroke; he is getting around in the house, but still needs someone there. Mom is the same; she walks with a walker and can not care for herself without help; mainly she can’t remember things, but other wise is doing well. Dad is 89 and Mom is 88;l for their age, both are doing real well. We are very fortunate to still have our parents and I want to spend as much time as possible with them now, so other things will just have to wait! Thank you all so much for the prayers!
I am able to continue my work with the Faith-Hope-Charity Educational Consultant Group and work on writing the camp curriculum. Before we can get any funds to start the camp or get any licenses, etc. I have to have total year (year around) curriculum written for pre school through 12th grade that matches the national & state standards. We are also still working on getting more land for the camp. Things are coming together but just very slowly. It is in Our Heavenly Father’s Hands – His Timing, not ours.
My prayers are with the Muskegon Heights Schools.
My baby turned 21 Dec. 7th. Sarah is working & going to college. My husband turned 77 on Dec. 9th. My computer is acting up, I hope I can get this to post.
May God Richly Bless Each of you,
Nellie

From Old Christian Living Newsletters --

Below is a sample chart of the chart that I’m (going to be soon) placing (filled-in) on each of our interest blogs. Click-on the links on our home page here to each of our interest blogs to see what articles are on that particular blog. Nellie

Input from Friends From Around the World from Way Back
Column Title --
Theme --
In the late 1960’s through early 1970’s we started & published a newsletter with articles from persons from around the world. Now that I’ve retired from full time teaching I’m going through many, many boxes of materials that I’ve kept over the years & sorting through it, sending some to missions to use in their educational program, donating other materials to other causes, etc. Some, I need for the curriculum development work that I am still doing or for our camp programs. I just found some of these old news letters which I was looking for. They made me think, “How did I ever get these?? We did not have computers, internet, etc. back then. How did we get this information from people from all around the world??? I had to think a few minutes for the answer. Everything was by mail (it was a lot cheaper to send a letter in those days); starting in high school, I began writing to pen pals. Again, I had to jog my memory as to how I got these pen pals. I remembered, there used to be teen magazines with articles containing pen pal names, addresses, & other information. Also the group that encouraged me to start these new letters was The Faith, Hope, & Charity Missions, which was NaomiLeah’s family’s organization. Many in her family & her friends were missionaries and this was a group that supported them in pray, writing them letters, etc. It was between my pen pals & my writing missionaries, etc. that I was able to collect the information for our newsletters. I am still looking for the boxes with the original letters with snap shots of the pen pals & missionaries along with their last names. I just hope they did not get lost: I’ve been looking & looking for my white nursing Bible which had my family tree in that my grandmother filled in when I first went into nursing. Because of back problems, I later left nursing & went into education. When I went to Bible College I had taken educational classes also. I took nurses training & attended Bible College right after I graduated from high school.  I’m including the ethnic connections, if we have them, as at the time I asked the contributors to try and include information that they sent us that reflected on their ethnic back grounds. Enough on all of that; I just wanted to put some back ground to these articles. Nellie

Our Belief

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:17
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3:18
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.
John 3:36
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him."

John 6:40
For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."
John 11:25
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies.”

Non-Denominational

We may follow other bogs to see what they have to say; that does not mean that we always support everything they may say. We do not get deep into different denominational beliefs; we leave that to the ones the God has called to do this.
Thank you,
