I celebrate CHRIST!

Some waited, some didn't know to wait. Some didn't know to care to wait. But waiting was happening all the while. And the time came for the ONE to set HIS feet on the soil of HIS earth. The very picture of GOD HIMSELF in human form, this child came. Interesting HE came as a child. Jesus tells us, “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." (Matt 18:3) He grew, He taught, He flipped tables (literally and figurativly) and ultimately gave HIS LIFE. Why do I celebrate Christmas? Because I celebrate CHRIST!

MAD!

I am going to rant...its a warning!

But this is my blog and I can...
(share things I can't on Facebook)

And don't think its because I am afraid to be honest, sometimes honesty can hurt and I don't want to hurt, the very thought of the hurt is what makes me so mad.

Are you ready...

I am mad that Christmas Church Dinners cost big $$ to get into, the very ones that can't afford are probably the ones who need to go the most.
I am mad that Christmas eve services are at the latest, 5pm...hello? Most get off work at 5pm!

I am mad overall at the lack of feeling that seems to be paired with those that opt out of these events. They may not have the money or time to get there, yet, why do these events go on with out thought to those that want to be there.

Last time I checked, the whole church was the whole church.

I would rather have a dessert open house than a catered dinner, if I knew every one of my sisters and brothers was there, and I would rather stay till midnight if I knew every one that wanted to be there for Christmas eve service could be. Obviously my gift is not administration.

But oh well...
