Please consider the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This blog\/newsletter is a free ministry of LBC.  It&#8217;s completely run and staffed by volunteers.  No one gets paid for this.  Every single member of staff does this because they see this as a way to serve the body of Christ to the glory of God.  So please, make our work meaningful: enjoy it!  Read the Beacon.  Share it.  Tell us if you think something could be improved.  Talk to a writer about their article.  Everyone is encouraged when they know their work is used and appreciated.<\/li>\n<li>Pray for the Beacon ministry.  Seriously, this is a great support for us.  The importance of prayer is hard to over-emphasize.<\/li>\n<li>Last but not least, if you feel so inclined, share with the church via the Beacon.  We&#8217;re happy to receive submissions from non-staff writers, and we&#8217;ll work with you to get an article edited, polished, and published if that&#8217;s something you&#8217;re interested in.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thank you again for all your support.  We all feel truly blessed to have this opportunity to serve.<\/p>\n<p><em>Pro Rege<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Stephen Rodgers It&#8217;s hard to believe that December is here already.
