Are you ready for Christmas yet. I know I am not. Seems like it came on quickly. It’s just a matter of a couple days which means that 48 hours from now it will be half way done. There’s much to be done before the fun.
Something About That Infant A Long Time Ago
The notion of a infant child coming to change the world is a crazy idea and the fact that child grew up to be a hippie and a community organizer is even more crazy. Our world doesn’t need bravado and arrogance, it needs humility, kindness, inclusion and peace. Jesus came into the world to show us how to live, love and laugh and party and be with those who society cast aside. Instead of greatness we need mercy and grace.

Happy Festivus, To The Rest Of Us
Happy Festivus Everyone! Thank you “Seinfeld” for this cultural holiday celebration that everyone can celebrate.
Festivus is both a parody and a secular holiday celebrated on December 23 that serves as an alternative to participating in the pressures and commercialism of the Christmas season. It has been described as “the perfect secular theme for an all-inclusive December gathering”. This was introduced to the masses in a Seinfeld episode titled “The Strike”. From Wikipedia
Air your grievances, exhibit fetes of strength and celebrate around the Festivus pole! Happy Festivus to you all good people.
When A Post Bombs, Yep Sometimes It Does #blogging
Sometimes a post isn’t your best work. It kind of goes over like a lead balloon or something like that. You put a lot of mental effort into it or perhaps its something you think people might find interesting or inspirational. Pride in your posts can taint how you write down the road if you let it. Not every post will shine like a diamond, some will go thud. It’s interesting how people react to things online and in real life. It really is hard to please everyone but that doesn’t mean you should stop trying.
She Won On Jeopardy and In Life For Others
(From CBS News) Cindy Stowell was battling stage-four colon cancer when she had a six-game “Jeopardy” winning streak, earning over $100,000. She never told her friends of family, wanting them to watch for themselves when the episodes aired.
This is inspirational and heart breaking at the same time. She had a mission and fulfilled it. Her death is a very sad thing but what she did for Cancer research will help others for a long time.
