Another Christmas(time).
Time to anticipate, calculate, meditate, pontificate, hesitate, communicate, demonstrate, and celebrate!
Anticipate: Advent is at the mid-point. What great adventure lies ahead?
Calculate: Check your budget and your commitments. Enough money? Enough time? Enough energy?
Meditate: What's Christmas really about? Maybe a good time to watch "A Charlie Brown Christmas."
Pontificate: Clergy or Layperson: share the Good News of what Christmas REALLY means! If it means keeping Christ in Christmas, does that mean we don't have to think or do anything with or about Christ the rest of the year, just keep him tied down in that manger.
Hesitate: Slow down. Avoid the Christmas rush. The rush to get it over with, the rush to get it all done. He or she who hesitates by the manager is NOT lost.
Communicate: Time to reach out to friends and strangers. Time to make that reaching out a life long everyday habit!
Demonstrate: Show YOUR world what Christmas is.
Celebrate: You know what to do here.......
*cue your favorite Christmas song...perhaps "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!" by Andy Williams, of course.
Peace (on earth) my Friends!
