Merry Christmas

Today vast numbers of people celebrate the most important event in history, the entry of light into a world ruled by darkness. The Word became flesh and announced that there is such a thing as truth, that love is more powerful than hate, and that overcoming the evil within ourselves is more important than fighting it in others. It is a testament to the wickedness of the world that it tortured and killed such a messenger, but in so doing it proved His point -- the soul can overcome any harm the world might inflict on the body. His words and deeds bring everlasting life to anyone who acknowledges them.

For those on this remarkable day who see only tinsel, presents, and whatever else their hearts desire at the moment, I pity you. You are missing out on a depth of joy that no such things can ever provide.
