SIX - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, December 24, 1997 All Saints continued from page 4 blowing snow. I couldn't see the runway until it was evident that our plane was now sideways, with the wings pointed to the ground and we were some 20 feet from disaster! It was at this point in my life that for the first-time I knew what was really important to me. Yes, my life 'flashed' in front of my memory. I said my silent, "I love you" to my wife, Michelle, over and over. Then I immediately plunged into that cry of help, "O, Lord! Help us please! Take care of us! Please Lord! 0, my." Time stood still. In fact it may have been the matter of three or four seconds before the pilots abandoned landing our small plane and righted us, while climbing back into the sky. Yet it could have been minutes or hours and it felt like an eternity. All of the "things" in my life mattered not at all in that moment. All o f my investments, all of my work, all of my anxieties about debt, and success and making my mark fled! In that moment when the angels told of the gift of God in Bethlehem of Judea to those humble shepherds, all that mattered was the moment and the love they felt toward God. Reality was in a moment transformed into an eternity. The preciousness of "love come down at Christmas” was all that mattered. The supernatural had become natural. Forget for a moment all the things, the pressures, and the worries which confront your daily living and remember the people, the life and the love which make living a precious gift, rejoicing with the angels at its appearing! Do something extraordinary for someone you love - this is the moment! Carpe Diem! May the blessings of moments be yours this Christmas! In his love and service, -Father A1 Miller PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE OF HEARING The Morrow County Court will hold a public hearing at 10:00 o’clock a.m. on January 7, 1998, at the Morrow County Court house, 100 Court Street, Heppner, Oregon to hear public comment upon the issue of annexation of territory to the lone Rural Fire Protection District.
