May each and every one of you enjoy a blessed time of celebration during the coming days. The celebration of the birth of Jesus the Christ and the changing of the calendar for a new year bring joy and optimism to those who know the Author of life. My prayer is that each of you have a safe and blessed time of celebration with family and/or friends. I live far from family other than my wife and friends are few, but each year I choose to celebrate and be thankful for the blessings received over the year(s). When I see the impact of the life of that "tiny babe in a manger" on civilization through the centuries, I am filled with gratitude toward our Creator for taking mercy upon wayward mankind and sending us a Light that shines through the darkness to bring hope and Life in Him.
Merry Christmas! and may 2024 bring many blessings to each and every one of us.

I noticed in The Book when I read the story
that the governments were afraid of that baby. Seems they have never gotten over that.
Blessings to you my friend.

and to this day they are terrified of those who bow before God and not man. What can they do to folks who fear not those who can only kill the flesh? That little child grew up and showed us The Way.
Merry Christmas to you too, dear friend! May our Lord's richest blessings be yours!
