another memorable day of worship :) as always, i loved seeing my church family, no matter how stressed out some might be with exams and such. and WELCOME HOME, LISA!! i probably sound like an oversent Christmas card, but it really does seem like the most wonderful time of the year.
sometimes i wonder where we'd be, though, had Christ's birth not materialized. there's no doubt that His coming changed human history - and i guess there would be no alternative, since time somehow follows His supreme plan in one form or another...yet such a monumental marker has been reduced to four styles of cards (to quote thad), last-minute, ostentatious splurging (both on self and others), and getting drunk on eggnog...HOW CAN WE TAKE OUR LIVES FOR GRANTED IN THAT WAY? we'd be nothing without Christ...and this year i intend to make that core to my being...
"Christ in me is to live / to die is to gain..."
praise Him for yet another enriching afternoon at city north mission. pretty much the entire group of youth that we've been ministering to over the past few months showed up, and i also had the chance to explain the Christmas story to someone who'd never heard about God before - witnessing is challenging, but i love it! and then jessica, darian and their mom came and enjoyed it, too, so a return looks likely :)
