lol thanks guys... i do actually conserve water in our house really well, we're very green at our place from the lightbulbs to power outlets and yes, to the water. We felt so bad watching the thing fill up but that's too why we went and purchased so many of the extra chemicals, covers etc to keep the water clean so that we will only need to fill it once.

oh well, I've done the best I can... If we're no longer allowed pools in our yards they should probably stop the sale of them.

I hope your cover is green so its undetectable from the air.  I bet the councils use google earth to track down pool and spa owners.

ahhh... its blue! lol

We don't have a pool cover :S We fill it with our water tank though But we never drain it because it is way to big to refill these days, like 8ft deep in the deep end.

Just remember that there were not 3 wise men, and they did not visit Jesus in the Stable!

The whole account describes the 'Wise Men' as wicked astrologers (a profession reviled by the Jews) sent by Herod (a Roman King) to find and kill the child. They were only wise once they visited and left without reporting back to the killer Herod.

They did not visit the stable and manger, as Jesus is described as a 'child' in his house, not a babe.  The family fled when the order to kill Jesus was given and soldiers were to kill all boys up to the age of 2 yrs. Herod knew time had passed and to kill Jesus they had to kill more than 2-3 week old babes.  People did not travel in cars back then so travel was often months of tracking over miles of rough roads.  God used angels to announce to faithfull Jewish shepherds the birth of Jesus.  They did not see or follow any star.  The star was actully of demonic origin to guide pagan 'seers' to become 'hitmen' and because they did not report back to Herod (time was needed for him to notice their non-return) the order to kill all the boys becomes a wicked part of true middle east history.

right. Well, thanks lawnbowler n Dara. I got a lot of help from the kidssundayschool link. I wrote the whole thing out again but it's perfect for what I know my children are capable of and tells the story quite clearly for both adults and children.

.. if you want to have a read just let me know.

thanks again guys!
