It’s hard to believe it’s the final Friday of 2023. Time is a weird thing you know. Let’s finish the week, month and year strong, or something like that. The new year is close at hand my good people. Have a great day everyone.
Today is the fourth Sunday of Advent and it’s also Christmas Eve. It’s been a time of waiting for the Christ child to come. Christmas is almost here.
Today people all over have celebrated Festivus. It’s a secular holiday celebrated on December 23 as an alternative to the pressures and commercialism of the Christmas season. Mass awareness came from it being featured in the American situational comedy “Seinfeld”. The rules for celebrating are easy and practical. To all celebrating may you have a great time of community and care.
According to the countdown it’s just THREE days until Christmas. Santa will be ready, what about you?
For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am a believer who thinks science, data, logic, and reason matter as much as religion. Some decisions must be made using tools that were given to men and women for operations of a lot of things. Religion has a purpose in the lives of many but it isn’t the only factor in a believer’s life. God gave us brains and a heart and when we don’t use them they can do great harm to others. Also, don’t be afraid of the future. Don’t look back because you aren’t going that way.
