We all love CHRISTmas. The day at least. The first few months and or weeks can be some of the hardest days of our lives. Everyone is trying to get by and many people who consider themselves "Christian," don't realize how much we stray from our savior in HIS SEASON!!! I know this because yesterday I was bell ringing for the salvation army, an organization that collects money and gives it to the poor. When I was outside of Wal- Mart, there were many people who gave and quoted something such as Happy Hollidays, but many people didn't. It may be that they already gave to charity and didn't have the money to give again, but I could tell that many of them didn't care and were too busy with there pre- christmas routine. So if your reading this, even if you are having the worst day ever, please sit back and remember Christ and respect his season. Don't get too caught up in your day, Christ is the important thing. He is the TRUE REASON for the season. To my fellow Lutherans, besides spreading the cheer, make sure you take your time to praise our savoir as well. Sincerely, your friend in Christ, the-dude P.S have an AWESOME CHRISTmas

Is it ok to start a discussion about topics related to the Lutheran Church? I never see anything so I didn't want go against group rules.
"...and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, that righteousness from God that depends on faith..."--Phil. 3:9 I feel like that Phil Collins songs..."I've been waiting for this moment for all my life." I love this time of year. May Christ the Lord bless you guys this week. And a early happy resurrection Sunday if I don't talk to any of you before then. I know we will be worshipping together though.

Here it is. Psalms 23:6 Surley goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the lord forever. Now post what you think this means and what it means to your life. If you have any verses that you think would be good for the next months post them and I might consider. And check the forums for some bible trivia
