Another member liked “He’s Got the Whole
World In His Hands” because, as the title says, it
talks about how God has the whole earth in His
keeping.
“I think I’m the youngest one here,” said Wa-
hala, to some skeptisicm from other members.
Though most of the current membors are retir-

top of an urn or other decorative planter may look
pretty as well.
If you would like to place the luminary on an
ice pillar, they are pretty simple to make.
Use PVC pipes in any width you choose. Using
duct tape, seal one of the ends so it is water tight.
Add fl owers, and then fi ll with water and freeze.
To get the pillar out, run the frozen pipe under hot
water until it slides out easily.
Plant the pillars fi rmly in the snow or ground at
least six inches deep.
Level the top of the pillar by shaving off some
of the ice with a fl at kitchen grater. Put a little
snow on top of the pillar and spray the snow with
water, then place the luminary on top of the wet
snow. It should freeze into place.
There are endless ideas about how to make
these. Try adding food coloring, glitter, pine-
cones, or anything else you can think of.
They are fun to make, and even better to look
at when you light the fi re. If you have a windy
area, try placing holiday lights around the lumi-
nary to achieve a nice glow.
Gather Greens
Look no further than your yard for wonder-
ful winter containers. Cut branches, vines, dried
hydrangeas, red twig dogwood, and other dried
fl owers on nature walks. Arrange in a container
that is fi lled with sand or gravel, add water and
let it freeze outside. It will stay nice all through
