Gray Monday's End With Nice Sunsets

That is one nice thing about life here, it the fog burns off the sunsets are spectacular this time of year. Have you ever gotten that mood where your brain wants to rant and your soul tells you peace, be calm? I am having one of those moments, wanting to rant on everything imaginable and add a few things since I read too much and yet His Spirit tells my soul to take a chill for the season of His Birth and to focus on Christmas. This time of year because of the commercialization of the celebration and attending pressures we tend to lose sight of the real reason for Christmas, the birth of Hope.
I believe I can honestly say the vast majority of america has Hope for a better future and understands the message that Christmas brings. Christmas represents birth that is why the pagan solstice celebration was adapted as it celebrates the birth of spring and new life just as the birth of Christ offers a rebirth to spring and new life to those that take His hand as their Saviour as I do.
Why don't churches organize Christmas parades using the same legal permit process as the gay pride groups? That is not playing politics, it is exercising constitututional right and we should not be silent in that matter. Play by the rules and victory will be achieved, though as a favorite pundit often says "We have to be Bulldogs, not poodles"!
