Just saying...

Man, right now I am in-thee-mood for butterflies and for hot summer days. I want watermelon and Oceans and such. Just saying... Plus!!!! I bought a unicorn cookie cutter the other day! :) A grand lil guy it is! I am now in the mood for unicorn cookies... :) Just saying... It's a sparkly wintry beeeyouteeful day outside and I'm sitting inside quite glad I am comfortably out of the wild snowglobe. I'm still thinking about Eragorn and Saphira and Elvish lands and such things... I got to go home from work early today, 2 1/2 hours early at that! :) But it took me an 50 minutes to get home instead of 18... the roads were so snowcovered and yick-like.  Just saying... My favorite color is still blue... and I am wondering if I can go a whole entire year without carbonated drinks like i will endeavor to come January 1. I WILL miss that Diet Coke, and the Red Bull! I am pretty stoked about going to the beach twice next year Also maybe I am kina realizing that my grammar is atrocious on this post but who cares... And I am posting with the regularity of  a Blue Hippo showing up at my door... Lol but I doooo not lack inspiration... I have a million post pilin up in my brain... And i have satisfied my craving of jellybeans for a few weeks... as I ate a ton of those yummy lil guys just yesterday... today is lovelyish in a quiet hermity kind of way... :) I is Just sayin.... thats all :) :)

The Christmas Story

A very wonderful Christmas to all! This Christmas has meant something different to me than other before. We all think about the beginning of the Christmas story, but what about the end? No, I am not talking about the journey back to Nazareth, but rather about the Journey to Golgotha. I have been reading the book of Matthew recently, with different eyes. It felt like I was living along with it. Watching Him grow up as a child, taking on His Father's work... I was growing closer as I watched events unfolding, one by one. The healings physical and spiritual, the miracles, the showing of infinite unmatchless Love. Than they took Him into captivity, mocked Him, SPIT on Him! They degraded Him.... the Innocent. And He took it all. Without retaliation. And than He died... and bore our sins. He BORE our sins. He took upon Himself the blame, the humiliation, the shame, the sinfulness, the wretchedness of OUR sins, and not just one persons. Take all the people who ever lived and will live, take all that sin, allll the blame, humiliating wretchedness, shame, take it all and put it together on one Man. That's what Jesus did, for me. He did it for you. As this came clearly to my eyes... I felt so unworthy. Jesus did it for me. And in turn we have the gift, The Gift of Salvation. Can I actually accept it? Can I actually receive it, the Gift of Forgiveness, Acceptance, from Him? Please do. Accept and think on the best Christmas Gift of all. On His Birth, He began to give us.... The Ultimate Gift.
To me, THIS is the Christmas Story.
