1992, he said, paralleled a downturn
in the economy, while declines are
typically seen when the economy
improves and more people are in the
workforce.
BCC trustees have asked the col
lege administration to take a closer
look at enrollment in relation to pro
gram offerings, to make sure the
college is meeting the needs of the
local community.

A Thank You Note
from Chris Stanley
To all my friends, business acquaintances , brothers and
sisters in the Lord and to all the citizens of Brunswick
County, I would like to take this opportunity to express
to you my deepest gratitude for all the financial help
you have provided for me during my time of need. My
family and I could never begin to repay all of you for all
that has been and is being done for us. Never before has
such love and concern been shown to me as it has in the
past two months. More than anything though, I thank you for all the
prayers for me. Prayer makes all the difference.
There's no way I could ever know just how many and all the names of peo
ple who have donated so much of their time and money to help me. I would
not dare to try to mention anyone by name for fear of leaving one precious
person out. But 1 know someone who does know everyone who has worked
so hard. . . our Heavenly Father. Nothing goes by Him unnoticed. He is the
only one who could ever bless you all enough for all that you've done. "You
reap what you sow," and he will reward you in this life and in the life He
promises to come. May He open up the windows of Heaven and pour out His
blessings on you ? so much that you can't contain them.
I love everyone of you and I appreciate your love for me and your kindness
to your fellow man. At this time of the year we all seem to search our hearts
and find the love that God gave us from birth. Oh, if we could always live
with the Christmas Spirit in our lives. The world would be such a better
place. If everyone on this planet would show forth love as you have shown
to me, we would not have to lock our doors at night or worry about sense
less shootings. We could live in peace with one another as God intended
from the beginn ing. All of you are a shining example of what God is all
about. Love. uLove thy neighbor as thyself." Surely He has looked down
from His Throne and smiled upon everyone of you.
In closing I would like to say that according to God's Word, I am healed.
Jesus was born; He died and rose again 2000 years ago and he paid the
price for all of our sins and sicknesses. Jesus did it all. Not only for me, but
for you also. He is no respecter of persons. I fully expect to recover from this
disease and return to normal life roaming the streets of Shallotte with all
of you. When I do, I won't be the same Chris Stanley I was before. I have
changed already. And it's for the better. When you see me and talk to me ?
you can count me as a friend. When you're in need, I will be there to help
you, as you have helped me. I am proud to be associated with the finest peo
ple in America. God Bless you all and have a Merry Christmas!
In Christ ,
Chris Stanley
