These are also tough times for many Americans struggling in our sluggish economy. As we count the higher blessings of faith and family, we know that millions of Americans don’t have a job. Many more are struggling to pay the bills or stay in their homes. From students to seniors, the future seems uncertain.

That is why this season of giving should also be a time to renew a sense of common purpose and shared citizenship. Now, more than ever, we must rededicate ourselves to the notion that we share a common destiny as Americans - that I am my brother’s keeper, I am my sister’s keeper. Now, we must all do our part to serve one another; to seek new ideas and new innovation; and to start a new chapter for our great country.

Spending time with family for the holidays

As our extended family gathers together today for a Christmas holiday reunion, I will be taking a brief break from blogging to devote my time to precious fellowship with those who are most dear to me. The time we get to share together has diminished over the years as we’ve gotten older and our lives more hectic, so every moment that we do get to spend together is a treasured moment.

The blog won’t be entirely dormant. I’ve pre-scheduled my specially selected Christmas songs for each morning from now through Christmas Day.

I will be back after Christmas. Until then, to all my friends and to all my “foes,” I wish you a very merry Christmas, filled with abundant blessings, treasured moments,peace, joy and love.

Happy birthday, dear Jesus!

“Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.”

25 Days of Christmas — Day 21:
‘O Come All Ye Faithful’

Have yourself a partisan Christmas

Leave it to the Oklahoma GOP and people like Jim Martin to make the Christmas holiday — the holiday of “peace on earth and goodwill to all men” — a partisan event.

Un-be-liev-able.

This partisanship by the party that so often likes to believe it’s more “Christian” than others certainly doesn’t reflect the spirit of this Christian holiday or the Christ whose birth is being celebrated.
