And so this is Christmas.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I love this season. There is so much hope to be found this time of year; not that the blessings of Jesus the Christ do not extend to all men at all times, but this is the time of year when we are all reminded of the glorious and humble birth of our Lord and Redeemer Jesus Christ, son of Mary.

I hope you all feel the blessings of the Man who, over two millennia ago, was born in a humble stable in Judea; the Man who taught and preached and healed; the Man who atoned for our sins; the Man who suffered on the cross; the Man who again took up his body in a great resurrection of life. Forget about the presents; they are fleeting. The blessings of one Jesus Christ extend to the Eternities and never diminish.

Have a wonderful holiday, everyone. Again, Merry Christmas.

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."

-Isaiah 9: 6-7
