			 Christmas is coming! What shall I do? A day off. Shall I lazy around?
 Shall I celebrate at the corner pub?
 A lot of decisions for many to make.
 
 Why is this a day off from work or daily routine?
 
 As I think about it, I suddenly realize this is a special day and I 
			have an obligation to represent it sensibly.
 
 My faith leads me to think about a new born babe in a stable manger.
 This baby fulfilled the prophecy of the coming of the Messiah.
 Yes, and his name was to be Jesus.
 
			 That is what I will do. I will worship his name with many others in the house of God.
 I know he is the answer to what life is,
 and how he gave his life later that I might be forgiven of my sins 
			and have the opportunity to receive life eternal.
 
 See you in church.
 Merry Christmas to all!
