"Have no love for the world,
Don't hold on to things in this world.
nor the things that the world affords.
If anyone loves the world,
the Father's love has no place in them,
for nothing that the world affords
comes from the Father.
Carnal allurements,
enticements for the eye,
the life of empty show ---
all these are from the world.
And the world with its seductions is passing away
but the person who does God's will endures forever."
1 John 2:15-17
Your house, car, clothes, etc. are only temporary things.
Use money for God's work.
Keep your eyes on Jesus.
Ask Him what is important.
You want things that last forever.
Hold on to Him.

Colossians 1:13-14
It is part of life.
You need the forgiveness of your sins.

Come to the light.
Have new life.
Jesus, forgive me.
I am sorry.
I want to start over.
Give me this new life.

The star which they had observed at its rising
went ahead of them until it came to a standstill
over the place where the child was.
They were overjoyed at seeing the star,
and on entering the house,
found the child with Mary his mother.
They prostrated themselves and did him homage.

It is in the Santa Claus display just
outside the doors of Von Maur.
The snowflakes are all gone from there.
This is the picture of it from December 13th.
The Merry Christmas card was gone from the plant.
Hopefully they gave it to one of the families.

I did walk through Von Maur last night
on the first and second levels.
There were lots of people there.
There were 8 wreaths 4 on each side,
as you came in the doors from inside the mall on level one.
It was unreal to try to picture a shooting taking
place in this environment all decorated for Christmas.
There were police and guards in the store.
As I was leaving the mall I found a piece of paper on the floor.
It is from Alegent Health Family Care Clinic at Eagle Run.
It is a statement for someone named Douglas.
It has all kinds of personal information on it
(phone numbers, address, SSN, birth date 3-3-1948, etc.)
His birthday is easy for me to remember,
since 3 is my favorite number.
It was there for anyone to pick up.
I will mail it back to him today

at the southwest corner of the Von Maur store.
It was dark.
I was going over at 6 PM after my walk to see the memorial.
I say some prayers for the people and their families
when I am there.
It is a spiritual place.
There were about 20 people there.
The live TV reporter was there
not far away in the parking lot.
It might have been Channel 6. I'm not sure.
The snow was gone from the flowers.
Maybe the sunshine melted the snow or
maybe someone cleaned up all the snow.
There are two little Christmas trees now.
There were some candles that were lit.
I saw a different note to Aunt Janet.
It was from Keri this time.
Janet's funeral was yesterday.
There was a
picture inside the church
on the front page of the newspaper last night.
Afterwards I went back inside the Westroads Mall
looking for a guard.
It did not take long to find one.
I gave him the Sprint phone with the yellow background
on the display.
I opened and looked at it for just a few seconds.
The phone was not like mine.
I did not know how to find the owner.
How could you call them? You have their phone.
The guard asked me where I found it.
I told him by the memorial.
He thanked me.

Notice the little Christmas tree in picture 7.
I used Panorama Factory 3.4 to make the last picture
from 3 pictures.

There were a lot of people there.
The Saturdays before Christmas are very busy.
There were several police and security guards.
It was a different feeling to be there.
It kind of felt like the movie "Jaws."
They told the swimmers to get back into the water.
The music was mostly non-Christmas
over the speakers in the mall.
Maybe that was intentional.
Von Maur was of course not open.
The inside doors to it on first and second floors were
covered with paper snowflakes that people had made.
That was very touching.
People were still making more snowflakes at that time.
I'm sure this will mean a lot to the families that see it.
As I was walking I felt sick to my stomach.
I thought I was coming down with the flu.
Maybe I should go home.
It was the grief making me sick.
It was being so close to where the killings happened.
I don't see how the employees can ever go back to that store.
They say they will reopen Von Maur soon.
One person on the Internet said they should
knock the store down and build a memorial
like they did in Norfolk, Nebraska.
There were killings at a little bank there on
9/26/2002
.
The bank building is gone.
After I got done walking I went to see
the outside south doors of the store.
As I was going there I saw someone near the Food Court
outdoors holding a sign that said:
Free Hugs.
He was hugging someone in a wheelchair.
I saw a couple that was obviously in tears
returning from seeing the
south doors
of the store.
There were flowers everywhere covering the steps.
There were notes that people were praying for them.
It was very moving.
Many people were there.
Many cars were driving by to see it.
It was like being in an outdoor funeral home.
I read one note on a plant that said:
Aunt Janet ... Scott
It must have been from the nephew of Janet Jorgensen.
It was freezing cold.
It was snowing lightly.
It was an overcast day.
It was very sad.
Later I went to a grocery store west of there.
They were collecting money for the families
as you checked out.
Very nice.
There are wonderful people in this town.
I can't understand how this could happen to us.

You have a future.
What if the security at the store
had turned out all the lights?
There are no windows
on the second and third levels of the store.
That way the shooter could not see anyone.
Security saw him on the cameras.
They knew where he was.
It would be way harder to hurt someone in the dark.
That was my "random" thought this morning.
How can we prevent it from ever happening again?
I also wonder if I will go to the mall today.
I don't know.
Probably not.
I don't want to be that close to "ground zero."

I was starting to do my taxes for 2007

It was giving answers that had cents.
No way.

I was only doing addition.
I had to get another TI-34 from another room.
This morning it seems to be working fine.
Very strange.

"When noon came, darkness fell on the whole countryside
Maybe you feel that God has abandoned you.

Gary Joy

He dressed in blue clothes when I would see him
in the store over the years.
I have never been to the third floor of the store,
but many times I would circle the atrium on the second level
to listen to the piano player on first floor as I walked.
I would listen to the music being played and
then guess which piano player it was.
They have about 6 or 7 different players.
It is interesting to read the news stories.
Was the shooter 18 or 19 or 20 years old?
Was he wearing camouflage or black clothes?
Was he fired from a McDonalds in Bellevue earlier that day?
(Update 12-14-2007: He was not fired that day from McDonalds.)
It is a search for the truth of what really happened.
Usually when I am at the mall I see off duty police officers.
Apparently none were there when this happened on Wednesday.
I wonder if they can ever open the store again for a long time.
They would have to close the third floor off.
Some of the employees stayed around.
They helped customers get away.
The mayor said they are heroes.
Omaha I would say is in shock.
We just can't believe what has happened in our midst.
Keep praying for us.

At that time Jesus cried in a loud voice,
'Eloi, eloi, lama sabachthani?'
which means,
'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?'"

I thought there might have been a fire but there was no smoke.
I scanned the radio and they said something about a
shooting
.
No.
Not in Omaha.
9 people dead right there where I was just a few yards away.
I was too close.
I went to the Crossroads Mall for my walk.
This morning I keep wondering if I knew any of the victims.
I keep thinking that I could have been there.
I go there nearly every day for a walk.
Pray today for all these people that died and their families.
God be with us in Omaha.
We need healing today.
I fear no evil; for you are at my side..."
Psalms 23:4
We need to overcome evil with good.
Do something nice for someone today
in memory of the victims.
Jesus, please help us.

"In the beginning was the Word;
It is a new beginning for you.
the Word was in God's presence,
and the Word was God."
John 1:1
You can start over again.
Read the words of God in the Bible.
They are words of life.
Ask Jesus to forgive your sins.
You can have peace this Christmas.
It is a new start.

I survived yesterday with Vista.
Jesus taught,
Be close.
I guess it is not that bad.
"Whoever does the will of God
is brother and sister and mother to me."
Mark 3:35
Do the will of God.
Stay near to him.
Be a relative.
You are related to him.

Here is one of my favorite Christmas songs.
I'm writing this on Vista today.
Jesus said,
You are invited.
It blows me away.
I heard it yesterday afternoon on the radio (100.7 FM)
driving my car near 87th and Pacific in Omaha.
Avalon - Jesus Born On This Day
I figure I have to get used to it sometime.
I can't say that I like Vista.
It stops me from changing files.
"The invited are many,
the elect are few."
Matthew 22:14
All are invited.
Will you go to dinner?
Will you show up?
Come and see who Jesus is.
Get to know him.
Trust in him.

"Blest are the single-hearted
Let there be peace on earth.
for they shall see God.
Blest too the peacemakers;
they shall be called children of God."
Matthew 5:8-9
We need peace.
We need God's love in this world.
Pray for peace.
Be a child of God.

I did not get the answer

The Ark of the Covenant was very holy.
It is December in Nebraska.
in this crossword puzzle for

and the tablets of the covenant."
Hebrews 9:4
It contained the second copy of the
tablets of the 10 Commandments.
