This is the Arabic character "nun" the first letter of the word "Nazarene." I post it as my avatar in solidarity with people of all faiths suffering persecution at the hands of Islam. Many of them are members of the oldest of our Christian Communities, dating from the days of the Apostles. They endure cruel, merciless and unrelenting persecution. They are Orthodox and Catholic, Protestant and Evangelical, Coptic, Pentecostal, and Baptist. To the persecutors they, and we, are all "Nazarenes." |

Hello, FRiends. I am bringing you more Mannheim Steamroller and snow. I love the snow because we don't get any here and I miss it. Being born in Massachusetts from a long line of New Englanders on both sides of my family tree, I think it is in my blood. Christmas just doesn't seem like Christmas without snow.
Still, still, still,
One can hear the falling snow.
For all is hushed,
The world is sleeping,
Holy Star its vigil keeping.
Still, still, still,
One can hear the falling snow.
Sleep, sleep, sleep,
'Tis the eve of our Saviour's birth.
The night is peaceful all around you,
Close your eyes,
Let sleep surround you.
Sleep, sleep, sleep,
'Tis the eve of our Saviour's birth.
Dream, dream, dream,
Of the joyous day to come.
While guardian angels without number,
Watch you as you sweetly slumber.
Dream, dream, dream,
Of the joyous day to come.

A Difficult Season
This is a most difficult season,
We've traveled a distance this year.
I'm growing increasingly worried,
My dear wife and I are in fear.
Our journey has been quite a hard one,
And others have passed us in haste,
If we are to find some comfort,
We haven't a moment to waste.
But she could give birth any minute,
This motion is not a good thing.
We'll need to rest long when we get there,
And we'll need all the coin we can bring.
This traveling back to my hometown,
Means that I and my child will share,
This place of birth and our kinship,
With others who dwell about there.
The town is decidedly crowded,
There's not a room to be had.
The innkeeper lets us take shelter,
In a stable nearby. It's not bad.
The earthy smells are a comfort,
Somewhat like a scent of new wood,
As a carpenter, I know I'll rest easy,
If my wife will agree that it's good.
I would think it could be a bit festive,
With a pine bough to sweeten the air,
And a candle or lamp, to keep out the night damp,
But I sit on the straw and just stare.
For beyond the smoke of our camp-fires,
I can see a bright star in the sky,
The heavens may have their works revealed,
But I cannot spare them my eye.
For my wife is finding comfort,
In the straw of our rude little space,
And so, like it or not, I'm preparing,
To welcome our child in this place.
So a food trough becomes a first cradle,
As he comfortably makes it his own,
All swaddled about, with his face shining out,
He can reign like a king on his throne.
When I get to a place I can work at,
I'll make a good cradle, and sound,
A carpenter's son shouldn't have to accept,
Some rough sticks in a bad part of town.

People get puzzled about the relationship of Joseph with his little family.
It’s easy; Joseph’s was the first family to have a God-parent.

"Marry Christmas." By the way, my folks did that. Their anniversary was easy to remember.

Freep mail me to be on or off the Daily Bread ping list
Just The Right Time
The conductor stood on the podium, his eyes scanning the choir and orchestra. The singers arranged the music in their folders, found a comfortable position for standing, and held the folder where they could see the conductor just over the top. Orchestra members positioned their music on the stand, found a comfortable position in their seats, and then sat still. The conductor waited and watched until everyone was ready. Then, with a downbeat of his baton, the sounds of Handels Overture to Messiah filled the cathedral.
With the sound swirling around me, I felt I was immersed in Christmaswhen God, at just the right moment, signaled the downbeat and set in motion an overture that started with the birth of the Messiah, the High Priest of the good things to come (Heb. 9:11).
Every Christmas, as we celebrate Christs first coming with glorious music, Im reminded that Gods people, like choir and orchestra members, are getting ready for the next downbeat of the conductor when Christ will come again. On that day, we will participate with Him in the final movement of Gods symphony of redemptionmaking all things new (Rev. 21:5). In anticipation, we need to keep our eyes on the conductor and make sure we are ready.
Sound the soul-inspiring anthem,
Angel hosts, your harps attune;
Earths long night is almost over,
Christ is comingcoming soon! Macomber
The advent of Christ celebrates His birth and anticipates His return.
