'Twas the week after Christmas
and all through the church,
Not a Creature was stirring
... Well, except for the Dragons,
who were likely to stamp and thrash
and snarl and breathe
howling imprecations and maledictions,
All of which would be very tedious
... and not much fun at Christmas.
(And, besides, all that stamping and thrashing
is extremely hard on the furniture.)

The entire staff of First Baptist Church of Bolivar is on Christmas vacation.
(All of 'em? Yeah, we were stunned, too.)
But, rather than leave these documents and materials in the ah, ... talons of dragons, we will wait until some portion of the staff returns on Friday, January 2, 2009.
However, we will be posting the initial letters and opening the accompanying website on Thursday, January 1, 2009.
