fast and loose christmas
This will be a fast post. Fast post because I am going to be a dad of TWO KIDS this month! My 2 yr old Justus will have a baby brother or sister, due on Jan 13th…its a Wednesday. Guess it will be easy getting over that Wed hump.
Another reason this is a fast post, is because its almost Christmas week. Fast because our American Christmased culture doesnt give us time to think or reflect on what the incarnation of Jesus really means. Fast because we need to rush all over town and decorate all over the house. Fast because we plan work parties for every night of the week…her work party, his work party, her friends party, his friends party (usually playing cards in a cold garage).
But wait, slow down with me for this last sentence of true Christmas cheer. Jesus, I repent of this American Christmased culture, my selfish desire for more stuff, and ask you what the thief on the cross asked you “Jesus, remember me when you come in your kingdom.”
