I think if I could have one Christmas present this year, I would ask for truth. I won’t bother to explain except to say I think “We the People” must stop running from who we are. It’s not so much about worshiping at the same alter, so much as it is adhering to a set of foundational principles rooted in the freedom to pursue the best way forward for you and yours.

The birth of Christ was significant in that “He is for all mankind”. He did not come into the world to save a particular group, but to save humanity from itself. We do ourselves a great disservice when we make excuses and revise what we know to be the truth, for the sake of validating our own self interests.

As I look around the country today, (and the world for that matter), it’s easy to see the need for Christmas and its message of hope and giving. I do suspect however, the time is short when we may able to grab hold of that message for the greater good of all God’s people.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night…

“And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in

the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the

angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone

round about them, and they were sore afraid. And the angel said

unto them, ‘fear not, for behold, I bring you tidings of great

joy which will be to all people. For unto you is born this day in

the city of David a savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this

shall be a sign unto you. Ye shall find the babe wrapped in

swaddling clothes lying in the manger.’ And suddenly, there was

with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and

saying, ‘glory to God in the highest, and on Earth peace, good

will toward men.’”
