With Christmas Day fast waning down,
I just don't have the time (late) this evening to write as thorough a blog as
I'd like to. Ironically, this is rather antithetical to one of the main
messages inherent in our observance and celebration of Jesus' birth: peace, calm,
and simplicity.
Today saw me dashing off over a
couple minor mountain-ranges to pick up lovely younger daughter Portia from her
likewise-lovely Bavarian-cream mom's home – located in the calm,
sedate eye of the veritable Holy-Day hurricane – to the utter and wonderful maelstrom
madhouse at my sister Mew's home. More on this, perhaps, later. For now: it was
awesome.
So, no, I didn't immerse myself in
the peace that surrounds our Prince of Peace. Nonetheless, over the coming days
I want to look at here, in depth, some of the key pivot-points of our pastor's
homily yesterday on Jesus' birth; stand by for the twelve days of Christmas.
Hectic or not, it's such a beautiful
– and utterly pivotal, and significant – date that, well, why just celebrate it
on one day?
