Something a little different this week and I hope you enjoy them, even if you do not celebrate Xmas.

Here are the Christmas " "s 2009 edition


And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch of their flocks at night.
An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will for all the people.
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.

              Bible - Luke 2:8-11

They're never fattening, seldom sinful, and permanently personal.

To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart.

To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, respect.

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.
