Christmas at our house is Lasagna with salad and then to church for the Christmas Eve service. I knwo some that read this board have issues with organized religion, but since it is Christmas, I want to share something……”Therefore the Lord shall give you a sign: behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”

Isaiah 7:14

This was written by the prophet Isaiah some 700 years before the birth of Christ. One unique thing about this prophecy is that it is fulfilled word for word in Matthew 1:23 which says “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which interpreted is, God with us.” The odds of this happening have been calculated at 10 to the 17th power to 1, or one hundred thousand trillion to 1! Kinda staggering to even think about. This in itself is proof that the birth of Jesus was no normal birth and it brought the Messiah into the world.

I think what we need to remember is that Christmas is only the beginning of the story. It is a wonderful thing, but totally meaningless without the cross. In
John 15:15 , Jesus says, “Henceforth I call you not servants, for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known to you.” Isn’t it amazing that God considers us friends. Not subjects, not slaves, not servants, but friends. Just before Jesus said this he also said in verse 13, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” This is exactly what Jesus did for us. I think this is what Christmas is all about!

Funniest stuff ever! “This in itself is proof”…priceless. Proof? Based on an arbritrary work of fiction? That someone decided should be known as truth? You take this as gospel? The Lord of the Rings is a more compelling read! Everyone is free to enjoy their own preferences when it comes to art but the sheep make me laugh.

The ole lady’s nymphomania is flaring up again, so I’m going to keep this short.

Hope everyone has a safe and fun filled night and a great twenty-ten.

Peace and taco grease!

I’ll see you fools next year. 2010 is going to be a good one. Years that end in zero are always good for me. Happy New Year!

NYE has never been one of my favorite holidays. In years past, I’ve been to parties both large and small. I’ve been to bars and I’ve stayed home and done nothing. I’ve even seen the ball drop in Times Square in person several times (back in the days before they used to pen you in for the night).

But this year, I am doing something completely different. I will be ringing in the New Year with most of the original cast of “Mystery Science Theater 3000″, and it looks to be a blast:

Heading over to the theater now. Happy New Year to all !
