Things were crazy for me right before Christmas. We were trying to finish up Christmas gifts, cleaning the house, and running around to various different places for an endless number of events.

I hope that everybody had a wonderful and very Merry Christmas!

Despite the commercialism of the season I tried to keep foremost in my mind the reason why we celebrate Christmas. Jesus was God’s gift to us, to redeem us and die for our sins so that we might live forever.

My favorite Christmas song is ‘Mary, Did You Know?’

If you get a chance, listen to the song and just ponder it for a bit.

Merry Christmas. May God bless all of you and your families in this coming year.
