The Reason.

If I knew how to get the audio of Linus reading it, I’d do that. But I don’t, so…. from the gospel according to Luke:

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.”

When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

To all of my dear friends, here’s wishing each of you a very joyous Christmas! I love you and miss each of you.

Wisdom from Dicky Fox

Hey, I don’t have all the answers, in life, to be honest, I’ve failed as much as I’ve succeeded, but i love my wife, i love my life, and I wish you my kind of success.

-Dicky Fox, from Jerry McGuire

There aren’t too many folks today that have what I have. I am a rich man – rich beyond my wildest dreams. I have a treasure of wealth that men around the world dream of – and strive for – day after day, year after year – of their lives. Some men have earned this wealth, but never receive it. They’ve done much more to earn it than I have – and yet they do not have it. Why? I am not sure – beyond the providence of Almighty God – I can’t tell you why some men live their entire lives – and do so much to earn this treasure – and they go to bed every night – penniless… broke…. destitute.

The love and respect of my wife is my treasure. She is my dream come true, my soul-mate and my God given encourager here on this earth. I have made many mistakes in my life, and for many years – I was a crappy husband. I thank God – that He has blessed me with my wife.

I love you, baby.

Sometimes You Get Hosed. It’s Just Part of Life.

Little late on this news, folks. But sometimes, it just doesn’t matter what you do – your fate is in the hands of others who are bigger and stronger than you.
