OFFICIAL CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
(Forgive my usual length)

Today we celebrate. Yes, that's it: we celebrate!

We celebrate because the light of Christ offers hope for sinners like us, to see move out of the darkness of this world, and into the light of hope and truth.

We celebrate, for as Medical and Dental students, we are given that opportunity to share the light of the World with the many who are ill and sick. Remember that responsibility.

Let me share with you a 'Christmas Legend.'

When Jesus was born, an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream and instructed him to flee to Egypt, so that the Christ child would be safe from Herod's fury. Joseph obeyed, and took his wife and the newborn child and fled to Egypt.

On their way to Egypt, they decided to stop in a cave to protect themselves from the elements of the night. Lo and behold, in that dark and lonely cave was a big, black, poisonous spider.

The spider saw the Christ child, and knew exactly that in his little cave was the Saviour of the world. The spider thought to himself, "what can I do for the Saviour of the world? I am just a poisonous spider?!"

He thought, and decided that he would weave a thick and beautiful web over the mouth of the cave, so as to protect the family from the elements even better.

Soon after the Spider completed the magnificent web, a detachment of Herod's army came to the cave! The general gave orders to his soldiers to search the cave! When the commander who had gone to search the cave saw the thick web, and the huge spider he jumped back, gasped and said "General, if anyone had gone into this cave, the web would have been broken...and the spider would have killed them!"

So on went the army, so close and yet so far, from the Saviour of the world.

Colleagues, even this legend may be true or not, you may consider yourself as ONLY a poisonous spider- but consider the use you have for God, and His kingdom. Furthermore...YOU WILL BE A DOCTOR! What better way than to heal the spiritual needs of your patients, as you attend to their physical needs?

I take this opportunity to thank Deandra Poyser, the Fundraising Chair, who on her own initiative baked a cake for my brother and the other children at the home at which he stays. My brother, who has severe autism, and I'm sure the many other disabled children at the home greatly appreciate YOUR MAGNIFICENT WEB. For in the little things you do, God will do great.

Remember everyone, what little you can do for the many unfortunate around the world; in your homes around the world- be it in Trinidad or Tobago, in St. Kitts or St. Lucia, in New York or Botswana, in England or Iraq or Nigeria, maybe even St. Vincent, Guyana or Belize or even in Jamaica- RMEMEBER THE HOPE YOU ARE TO BRING.

I also take this opportunity to thank God for His protection; a member of our class was in a serious accident earlier this week, but sustained no injuries and is alive and well, though the car is destroyed.

Finally, remember that though we sin, if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us. Make space for the Saviour of the world in your heart today.

The Lord be with you!

GREAT Trivia Night!!

Please ensure that everyone is reminded to just stick to their tomato. If they can do an extra patch of tomatoes that is fine...but make sure their tomato patch is complete before venturing off.

Also please send me the harvest as soon after the date of planting.

Tell them to send it to pedigree21@yahoo.com

Those that are not on the class list need to also send me their names so I can assign a patch.

EVERYONE must title the email subject so I know who is sending me what!! This also helps me check my bulk mail properly.

Message from Dr. M. Gossell-Williams

Dear students:

I took the time for the last three weeks to ensure that I updated the lectures on OurVLE.  The notes shown to me by the student this morning on Nystatin came from an OLD lecture. Please download the MOST current version.  As mentioned it in MOST unlikely that you will see Nystatin used for vaginal yeast.
