We Christians make much of the fact that this season is about Christ and His coming...about Immanuel and the truth that God made a way for sinners to know Him in His Holiness. But this video challenges me this Christmas to move out of my house with this knowledge and into the world with the thought:
If I really believe this stuff...I mean, really, truly believe that Christ came to make a way for people to live with Him forever...that a virgin was overshadowed by the Most High and gave birth to a Son who will reign forever as LORD...that angels really appeared to shepherds in that field proclaiming good tidings of great joy which are for all people...that wise men really traveled for weeks to find the King...that babies really died because they were destined to be born in a time and place that put them in the way of the sword...that the baby that was born grew to die because of my sin...
If I really believe that if people do not believe in Him, they are destined for an eternity apart from any joy, any comfort, any peace...receiving only the wrath of God forever...and ever...and ever...
If I really believe, maybe I'll act a lot more like they guy mentioned here.
FYI: Don't know who this guy is? Wiki has the answer here.

Losing it
I thought it would be a cool picture if I could get their shadows on the water. And by the way, this is Texas in December...so, no...it wasn't cold. It was 78 degrees and sunny! Until the next day...but just wait! It'll be warm by Tuesday. Anyway...so here's how it went...
Me: Girls, just walk in the water a little so I can see your shadows.
Girls walk in carefully...icky moss on the rocks and cold water causes lots of protests and girly noises by Aisley which sets off this from Brennan...
Which brought about this from all...
Me: Okay, girls...that's enough...so of course...
Yeah...hair fixing time from the older two...Bren is still oblivious to things like that, but it won't be long! So, off we go...1, 2...nope...
Aisley loses it...but by now Bren (who started it all, remember?) has had enough...so though still laughing...
She's calling a halt...well until the frog jumped in...
Finally...Mean Mom comes out: Girls...for REAL! Stop it. Now.
Yes...you can see the fear in their eyes, can't you? All that just to get this...
Not sure this picture is any good, but I love the rest of them! Making memories, right girls?
