Figured it was going to be a small crowd this AM and it was. I admit I wasn’t too enthused about being in the gloom this AM, but glad I came. It’s 19 days till Christmas, so that was the number of the day – along with many many 5’s. Great effort was given this morning and at least 5 guys I know got better.

You hear the speech every year, but every year it’s needed. Make this season not about yourself, not about gifts, not about just making those in your own household happy. Make this season about giving, about sacrifice, about thankfulness, about humility, about making others’ lives better even when you get nothing out of it.

Christ died for us. We didn’t deserve it, still don’t. Show that kind of love to others this season. Love some neighbors, love some enemies, pray for them all.
