Just want to wish all of the folks on this forum a Wonderful Christmas! Over the next few days when most people have some time off, hope folks have the opportunity it take stock, and count their blessings...even if one of those blessings is as shallow as having an air-cooled bus parked in their garage.
Merry Christmas!
I like the Jesus birthday part of the holiday way better than the santacommercializationstuff, and I do love the chorusing of classic Christmas carols with massive church organ accompaniment.
I met Jesus in a big picture book of Christian propaganda when i was in kindergarten. I decided that I liked the guy, but the rest of it not so much . . .
I like some of the quotes attributed to him, such as "how you treat the least among you is how you treat me . . . "
" ... instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves. For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves?
and of course
"My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves."
Yeah, the more things change, the more they remain the same.
Looking forward to throwing the money-changers out of our temple in 2018!
