Thursday, December 15th, 2005Dearest Friends: In between bronchitis and deadlines I’ve been agonizing about crafting the perfect Christmas greeting. Then I realized the labor and hassel were another exercise in missing the point. Christmas is not about dressing up ever so neatly and presenting ourselves in a glowing light. As I wrote in a recent article: The Christmas [...]
The meaning of Christmas, according to Jesus’ mommy
Thursday, December 15th, 2005“My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant. Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. His mercy is for those [...]
Che the Christmas Icon
Wednesday, December 14th, 200563% of those surveyed by Church Marketing Sucks didn’t like the Che Guevera inspired Christmas ad. I think it’s pretty clever. posted by Jeremy Del Rio @ 12/14/2005 09:28:00 PM

Why Santa should give Judah everything on his Wish List
Friday, December 9th, 2005Today was Judah’s first snow day from school, so I took him sledding. Afterwards I thanked him for a great time and for being my son. His response: “Well, I didn’t decide to be your son. God made me your son. So I can’t say, ‘You’re welcome.’ God should say, ‘You’re welcome.’”Well said, Einstein. Check [...]
I’m not sure what to think of this
Friday, December 9th, 2005From today’s New York Times, “When Christmas Falls on Sunday, Megachurches Take the Day Off.” “Megachurch leaders say that the decision is in keeping with their innovative and ‘family friendly’ approach and that they are compensating in other ways. Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, Ill., always a pacesetter among megachurches, is handing out [...]
Judah created a Christmas Wish List
Tuesday, December 6th, 2005… for “Santa,” only it’s online at Amazon, for those who care. (Remember, his 5th birthday is January 2nd as well!)

Martin Luther King on Advent
Tuesday, December 6th, 2005“…the most striking thing about the story of Rip Van Winkle is not merely that Rip slept twenty years, but that he slept through a revolution. While he was peacefully snoring up in the mountain a revolution was taking place that at points would change the course of historyâ€â€and Rip knew nothing about it. He [...]

So when we grew up, we called ourselves Satan’s Sinners. – Cochise, founder and president of Satan’s Sinners gang; incarcerated since December 1993; incarnated since January [...]
