Jesus is most definitely the 'reason for the 'season'. ''Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.'' (J. 15:13) ''No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.'' (J. 15:15)
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." (J. 3:16) "But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Rom. 5:8) "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth." (J. 1:14)
"I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." (LK. 5:32)
Blessed be the Lord! A very Merry Christmas to all!

Super harmonies, great arrangements, three natural parts (bass, tenor, and soprano (who also does contralto!), these three siblings have shocked the world. From Youtube to packed concert halls, their future is super bright. I'm sure they've been home-schooled and unvaccinated. YOUTH to be super proud of - GREAT MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! :)
And Celia--I want to thank you for "Finding Vivian Maier." It was such a fascinating docu. At first I was all about "How wonderful and how incredibly artistic and creative she was." And then I was horrified at the effect she had on the children she nannied. And then I began to see her through a compassionate lens--which most of "her children" were able to do, finally. They could see--thank you to the director of the docu--that she most likely had a lot of trauma in her life. And she also had no supportive family of any sort. I actually sat up for several hours in the night--working through the many expressions of God there are in the billions and billions of worlds and races on those worlds. If God is ONE, and I am that too, then I must come to terms with how I am also Vivian Maier. She reminds me of Mary Poppins. She was not a loveable character either, and nobody really knew where she came from or where she went when she left on the West wind. And she was not particularly kind to her charges either...
Thank you so much for these beautiful advent gifts. I knew I like you. :) Now I have even more reason.
. . . and I will second that.
I've seen these kids before. Fantastic; and huge thanks to Celia for bringing us back to the meaning of Christmas season.
Lovely...absolutely Lovely.

Simply ,wholly ; a telos (cosmos) of delight .
At no time did they doubt 'make a joyful noise '
To the extent of calling their own 'drum' 'nothing' .
How it should be done .
