Christmas Time Is Here

Fortune Cookie

I broke open a fortune cookie today. You want to guess what it said? It said, "A lifetime of happiness lies ahead of you". Then I thought what if you are not in my future. This really wouldn't make much sense to others, but this one really struck me deep. You were not mentioned in my "lifetime of happiness". If your name is absent, then that clarifies your absence and your absence means my deficiency. I've pictured you in my distant future for so long now. Now I am not so sure what I should see when I imagine anything from here to eternity. It is indubitably hard to think of my happiness without you. Is there any way to change what that insignificant, yet so significant little slip of paper has printed on it? The more thought I put into it the larger my anxiety intensifies, but then I think who puts much hope or stock into fortune cookies anyways.

Guess its that time of year!

Imagine a group of young people meeting in big room, chatting with each other for a few minutes then go to different stairwells. They are getting all getting a little anxious and nervous, waiting. Waiting for the cue to walk on stage. Let's not mention that they are all dressed up as Biblical characters( "in bedsheets"). Yes, its that time of year...
Tonight at God's Bible School and College we are starting our weekend of performances of our school's Christmas Drama. This year it is called "Were It Not for Grace" after Larnelle Harris' song with the same title(which is sung in our program). I think we as a school are really anticipating a good weekend and proclaiming the good new of God's grace!
