Mon, 24 December 2007 Blue Christmas Prayer There’s no room at Christmas for sadness, There’s no place for hearts that are blue. All the world wants to hearIs a word full of cheer, Not a sigh, not a tear, not from you. There’s no room at Christmas for loneliness, There’s no place for your emptiness and grief. All the world wants is peace, Mistletoe and Christmas trees, Not a heartache that mars its beliefs. There’s no room at Christmas for sickness, There’s no place or time to be ill. All the world wants is health, Prosperity and wealth, Not a pain that can spoil its goodwill. There’s no room at Christmas for Jesus, There’s no place for His family, too, All the world would not share, No one seems to really care, A stable will just have to do. Silence…….. Yes, there’s room at Christmas for sadness, There’s a place in God’s heart for you. For He knows pain and loss, Which He felt on the Cross, So this candle is lit here for you… *For Christ knows what it’s like to be blue. * light a blue candle Comments[0] |

Tue, 18 December 2007 Many people talk and write about putting Christ back into the word “Christmas,� but perhaps we should all put the word “Christ� back into the word “Christian� first. Separation of Church and State issues. Being a compassionate Christian to the world. Comments[0] |

Tue, 4 December 2007 Sometimes we take God for granted, especially when it comes to worshiping Him on Sunday mornings. We wouldn't miss our favorite TV show for anything, but when it comes to keeping watch with the Lord for one hour of the week, we show up only when we want to. Even some Presidential candidates seeking to win over the religious right think that their laid back approach to worship attendance will help them. But perhaps the Lord has other ideas....
