I know there are those who recognize Christmas Day as the birthday of a great and good man, a wise teacher who gave us principles to live by. And then there are others of us who believe that he was the Son of God, that he was divine. If we live our lives for truth, for love, and for God, we never need be afraid. God will be with us, and He will be part of something much larger, much more powerful and enduring than any force here on Earth.

May the love, peace and joy that is with you this still winter's night hold and keep you well through the coming year. Merry Christmas, dear friends.
May God Bless our Country, and deliver us from the evil within and without. May peace reign upon the earth, and may the spirit of the holidays spread far and wide, not for a day, or a few days, but forever.... . thus is my Christmas wish . One must at least have some Hope. For without Hope, there is nothing. . God Bless, and Merry Christmas to ALL!!!
