I've been real sentimental about not posting over my testimony. Every time I think I should write something, I keep picturing my testimony post dissappearing into my archive section.

It's gotta be done though. This world won't turn without, many times, completely useless random blog posts from me.(I joke, I kid.....about the world turning thing)

My sunday school teacher(hehe) brought up a really good point the other day about how people are boycotting retailers who substitute Christmas for holiday or some politically correct term.
First of all, the word "holiday" is no slouch in the significance world. Holy Day is my number two warm and fuzzy way to think about Christmas. Please don't think that I'm settling. I love Jesus Christ. My life is amazing because He is in me and I am in him. I just hate for people to overlook the meaning that also, although not as powerful, comes when using the word holiday. Anyway, His point, which I believe he would humbly point out that it was something he heard himself, was "when did we give the responsibility of conveying Christmas to the Walmarts and Targets of the world?" That led to the discussion of it being our responsibility to live out the gospel in our lives. Several people pointed to loving others and to really caring and forming relationships with those around us. Others spoke of that love being constant, not just amped up during the Christmas season. I agree with both and realize that I am deficient in love really in any season. It's challenging to me to think about. I find it hard to keep up with great friends who haven't called in sometime or moved away much less people in my workplace or, heaven forbid, strangers on the street who I come in contact with everyday.

I find that a lot of times I put my wrath and feelings of anger into Christ's persona and really believe that the anger I have for issues and/or people sometimes is His anger. But seldom do I take his love and put it on and love as he loved. May God be glorified in all I say and do, that's my prayer.
