Looking out my office window does not look too much like Christmas and yet it is Christmas eve (yes, I work on that day). It is raining not snowing and I have a cold that is stopping me from doing any real deep thinking (not that I am too capable of that anyway). My one son is packing up his stuff getting ready to go to his in-laws for their Christmas celebration and Phyllis is working away on getting the house back in order. In a few minutes I will go to make a couple of hospital calls and then get ready for the Christmas eve services. It is a busy day indeed but one that I have grown to love. Christmas eve services are very special to me. They just seem to be alive with excitement and joy.
As you read these words Christmas may be past but the Spirit of Christmas is still alive and well. I wish you a Lasting Christmas that is with you throughout the entire year. Merry Eternal Christmas.
