It has e-solar!

Christmas has come, but hopefully isn't gone.  I mean as so many are putting up decorations as quickly as possible so they can "get on with life", and "get back to normal", I hope that the reality of what Jesus did become their normal.    I had a really good Christmas, and it was primarily because of family and friends and time with them.  As per my usual sharing, I'll tell you the highlights:

1. Chloe and I cooked together a bit on Christmas Eve

2. We watched A Christmas Story 500+ times

3. Got to sleep late on Christmas Eve

4. Mark and I had a wonderful day together Saturday

5. Eating*Eating*Eating*Eating*Eating*Eating*Eating

6. The family talking about the Christmas story, and our goals for our lives, and our favorite memories of the month of Dec.  

7. E-solar (tell you about that in a minute)

8. Meagan got a miniature breathing machine from her Nana, and we've laughed and laughed because we all love that present.  That's sort of a personal family story, that would take too much time to tell.

9. I got to go to the City Club Friday night with my work for a party.  It's neat to have an employer that insists on Christ presence being at his company, and talks about Him and gives Him all credit for any good thing in his life.  I don't take that for granted.

10. My gifts:

a. Cookware * b. New glasses * c. Coffee * d. PJs * e. A fondue set * f. perfume *g*keychain H*E-solar

OK, ok, I know you can't stand it anymore, and I can't stand it either ,E-solar!  Let me tell you about e-solar.  Meagan got me a manicure and pedicure for Christmas, and she knew I'd totally love it and be excited about it, which I was and am.  So she's basking in the glory of her gift-giving(like we all do), and says "Mommy, you're manicure has e-solar, I don't know what it is, but it's got e-solar. "Wow!" I say and  I reach for my pamphlet to find out what this might be.  Mark picks up my certificate and busts out laughing, and then I reach for it and I bust out laughing.  The certificate said "Manicure and Pedicure w/color" .  "E-solar", was in actuality "with color"!  Meagan said "Well, I didn't know." We all laughed at her expense.  That night I watched a television show that discussed Christmas, and the mystery behind it.  Just like Meagan didn't know what she was talking about with E-solar, I think when secular media talks about Christmas, they usually don't know what they're talking about.  In defense of the show, I fell asleep before the end-big shock, right?  But anyway, they were discussing the reasoning behind the accounts of the story being told differently and suggested that the reason behind Luke's recollection was so that his audience would be drawn in more.  They said he tried to write with similiarities to a mythological story for the benefit of the readers.  They also interviewed some people that said the story wasn't literal, and not just people off the street, I mean religous figures.  I believe there's a line between evalangelism and entertainment with this stuff, and these shows are not for the purpose of evangelism.  Alot of people view all this with the same wonderment and curiosity as a haunted house, and the media has many going on a "ghost hunt" of sort for Jesus.  I mean it is mysterious, His love, but the scary thing is the people that have no idea, and follow these roads to try to find a higher power, or something bigger than them, but with no strings attached or standards and think they are accomplishing something. 

2 Timothy 2: 22-26

 22-26Run away from infantile indulgence. Run after mature righteousness—faith, love, peace—joining those who are in honest and serious prayer before God. Refuse to get involved in inane discussions; they always end up in fights. God's servant must not be argumentative, but a gentle listener and a teacher who keeps cool, working firmly but patiently with those who refuse to obey. You never know how or when God might sober them up with a change of heart and a turning to the truth, enabling them to escape the Devil's trap, where they are caught and held captive, forced to run his errands
