Rambling 1

Christmas is one of those seasons that causes everyone to operate differently. For example, people will attempt to make ammends with those they are at odds with simply because "It's Christmas." And while I have no quarrel with that I do have an issue with the fact that everything is business as usual come February or March.
I know it's not the same for everyone. But one can't argue that society puts forth more of an effort to be civil during this season.

You know what really bugs me? The homeless. Just because it's Christmes, doesn't mean that anything will change for them. It's just another day for them. They don't have anyonet to turn to during the entire year, to include Christmas. Or don't they? I believe with all of my heart that a homeless man, woman, child, or family, can receive all they'd need and more to get off the streets and into a warm house if they'd just give their lives to Christ. I know this because I should have been homeless. I would have been, and would have brought my wife and kids with me, had I not the support of my family and the protection of God.
I've seen my brothers in Christ invite homeless men to church, desiring to bless them with a financial blessing as well. But rather than letting God help them in their time of need, theyd rather turn down the offer and and continue to pan-handle. Oh well.

I love Christmas. As a Christian, I cna't help but to. I appreciat the birth of Christ because he never would have died for our sins if he hadn't been born in the flesh. I know a person who said the reason that Christmas isn't celebrated by Jahova's Witnesses (or any birthday for that matter) is that a baby doesn't really have a purpose. They don't do anything and are completely helpless. I disagree. Does a drinking cup not have a purpose in the planning stages? Or an airplane fresh off the assemply line? Likewise, God has a plan for all his creation. We were all created to serve God to the best of our ability. And through God, our ability is limitless. Furthermore, Jesus' life in flesh and bone was planed the moment Adam and Eve sinned in the garden. You better believe that I'll celebrae his birth, life, death, resurrection, and eternal existance. Oh well.

I tried to call my kids this weekend. The first time since they went to their mother that I was unable to get through in seven months. I wonder how long it's been that way. For no more than a week, obviously. I call them every weekend. Now I wonder how long it will be before she informs me of what's going on. I could go on about that woman, but I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't use this blog to put her down or gossip about her.

Well, this morning I felt the urge to create a new post, but had no idea what to write. So I just wrote whatever came to mind. I plann to make another post later on today, but will only do so if I have something of substance to present.

Merry Christmas to you all. 'Til next time.
