I lived there from 78-82 and went to that same school! Actually it wasn’t built yet when I started Kindergarten, so we met in classrooms on the first floor of Begich Towers. My dad actually was part of the crew that built the school!

I am in awe of how the people get along together. While in some places where people homes are 100 feet or more from their neighbors don’t get along. Neither is their a since of community. The word community is just a word for them.

Hi, 🌷🌹🏵🌷🌼🌻🦋🦋May I share the most important news you will ever hear? God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus Christ(Y'shua Ha' Mashiach) from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. He was put into a tomb for 3 days, and then Abba Father raised Jesus to life and He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must all sincerely receive Jesus to be a true child of God. It says in John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." Will you genuinely believe on Christ Jesus and truly receive Him today, before it is too late?
