"I love naptime." I misread that. I thought it said, "I love napalm."
I thought, Whoa! That's really ramping it up!

I rode it out on a kind of ice barge.
Man, did I get tired of eating fish.

Ice-fishing when everything around you is the hole, and you’re on the last chunk of ice in sight.
But when you don’t have a boarding pass for the Ark, you do what you gotta do.

God With Us
December 23, 2013
Read: Matthew 1:18-25
His presence in the room was obvious. Everyone else was dressed rather formally. He had on a pair of jeans, a T-shirt, and a weathered baseball cap. I couldn’t help but notice him as I addressed students that day in a seminary chapel in Bucharest, Romania. I have no idea why he didn’t conform to the norms of seminary attire, but I do remember his name.
At the close of the meeting he came up to introduce himself. When I asked him his name, he answered, “Immanuel.” I was surprised by his answer and asked if he knew what that meant; he unashamedly replied, “Yes—‘God with us!’”
I’ve often thought about that young man and how he stood out in the crowd. Just as Jesus came to bring the presence of God into our world—“Immanuel . . . God with us” (Matt. 1:23)—so too we are called to bring His presence into our world. Jesus made that clear when He said, “As the Father has sent Me, I also send you” (John 20:21).
This Christmas, we can give the gift of God’s likeness through us. When our lives reflect the God who lives in us, we can be different from the world, and that difference can bless others with the transforming presence of His love and grace.
The gift of God’s presence through you is your gift to the world.
