Good Saturday morning! Praise the Lord for the dawning of a new day. It is easy to realize the time of the year when I can write this late (0716) and the sun has not quite come up yet. Next week at this time, we will be sitting at the darkest point of the year and the official start of winter. It seems fitting that just after the darkest point, the shortest day of the year, we celebrate the birth of the one who brought hope and light to the world. We may not know the exact date of Jesus birth, but celebrate it to your heart's content. By the way, I have seen that supposed "letter from Jesus" floating around the e-mail chains, and one thing does occur to me. What makes them think that God could not have guided us to select December 25th? Believe in God and that He can take care of every detail, or choose the darkness.
Some good news for you! Kevin Everett, the NFL player who was injured catastrophically in the first week of the season, is walking again! You may recall a prayer request for him way back in September. It is good to see the young man walking again. You can read his story in the December 17, 2007 issue of Sports Illustrated. You may note those who give credit to God for a miracle. Yes, God deserves full credit, but why do some continue to insist that science and God must be separate? I see no problem with God working through scientific and medical advances in our world. He created it all in the first place and we know that He hasn't gone on vacation or left the stage. Hmmm, lots of things to say "hmmmm" about today it seems. :-)
Speaking of "hmmm", I made it through the third day of Workshare with no mental problems. The physical pain I can recover from through the grace of God! I did get to see some old friends on the third day and that helped a lot. Workshare is a good way to dampen your Christmas spirit. By the end of day 2, I would have gladly helped the Grinch steal every decoration in Whoville, and loaded his little sled for him. Today, the Christmas spirit is back in full force, though the pain in my body is still reminding me of my time out there working.
Christmas arrives soon! Praise God the Father for the gift of His son, Jesus Christ!
