We had a pretty great Christmas Eve service
last night. Eighty plus people. Archaeologized the gospel through the eyes of
several favorite Christmas movies. No
Hallmark ones, though. Just the
classics. It’s a Wonderful Life. Elf. A
Christmas Carol. The Santa Clause. No Die Hard, though, although it did get a
mention when I asked for people to share their favorite Christmas movies. Almost started a riot. It was great.
Thanks for that, Ray. All the
donut boxes were taken for distributing to people who had to work. Lots of the ornaments disappeared as
well. Lots of hugging and Christmas
handshaking, too. I love that bunch of
people.
This morning it looks like we are headed
over to Kel’s to watch their Christmas morning festivities. I anticipate it being kind of subdued. Micah is full-blown sick, and Ezra has been a
little puny as well. Maybe we should
wear some of those doctor masks …
Well, as soon as the pigs-in-a-blanket get
out of the oven we are headed out, so … Merry Christmas!
Luke 2:11 says, “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the
Messiah, the Lord.”
Father, grant your Christmas peace to those
who need it most today … those dealing with depression or loss or pain. You are enough. Amen.
