For those who know us, you know I pastor a church called The Shepherd’s Fellowship and we own the local Christian bookstore called The Shepherd’s Nook. It’s actually a pretty blessed life as things go.
That said, it also means Decembers are very, very full. For this reason, I may be a little MIA here on the blogs. I will come back soon. Until then, play in the archives and catch up if you wish (including last year’s Christmas blog). IF you get REALLY bored, maybe go to the right and take in a pod cast or two (or go here).
Before I sneak off, I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas! No matter how busy things get, I love this celebration of Jesus’birth. The unfolding of this crazy master plan for God to give his only begotten Son. A story that includes the most unlikely characters including a bitter priest, a teenage virgin girl, a carpenter step dad, shepherds (a spit job at the time) to proclaim the truth, foreign astrologers dating back through Daniel’s time, and the Messiah being born in a barn behind the local Days Inn. Seriously, if this was made up, there is no way they would have chosen these details. However, God loves to use those who are willing to be used and this is a great celebration of God’s love!
Merry Christmas!
