I love that rendition of Silent Night. My two year old stops in her tracks and hums whenever she hears Sarah McLachlan sing In the Arms of the Angels.Oh, how sweet! I also love Sarah's rendition of Silent Night, but could listen to her sing "In the Arms of An Angel" over and over. I am crazy about her voice.

The top 10 ways you know that Martha Stewart
is stalking your dog
10. There is a potpourri pomander hanging from his/her collar.
9. The dog's nails have been cut with pinking shears.
8. The dog toys are all stored in McCoy crocks.
7. The pooper scooper has been decorated with raffia.
6. That telltale lemon slice in his/her new silver water bowl.
5. You find liver and whole wheat dog treats stamped out
with copper cookie cutters and decorated with royal icing using a #2 rosette tip.
4. Dog hair has been collected and put into wire baskets for nesting material for the birds.
3. A seasonally appropriate grapevine wreath adorns the front of his/her crate.
2. Your dog goes outside naked and comes in wearing a
thyme colored virgin wool hand knitted sweater with matching boots.
AND THE NUMBER ONE WAY YOU KNOW THAT MARTHA STEWART
IS STALKING YOUR DOG IS...
1. The dog droppings in your back yard have been sculpted into swans.
Reasons Why Dogs Don't Drive
10. Keep wanting to fetch the 'stick shift'
9. Have not yet invented 'squished cat' hood ornaments
8. There's never a fire hydrant when you need one on those long road trips
7. Much more sophisticated to use a well-trained human chauffeur
6. They haven't invented a car where you can hang your head
out the window and still reach the gas pedal
5. Can't get your learner's permit until you're 14! That's 98 in dog years!
4. Cats would just learn to use the pedestrian overpasses anyway.
3. No oposable thumbs mean we can't use the 'drive-up' banking machines
2. Saw that Herbie movie as a young pup and are still scared of cars
1. Could never ever live with the guilt of running
over Uncle Rover while he was chasing the car!

Christmas In Tokyo
The One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you. Acts 17:23
On Christmas Eve 2003, noted painter Makoto Fujimura gathered with other artists for a party at Sato Museum in Tokyo. Many had donated their works for a benefit exhibit to raise money for children in Afghanistan. After the meal, Mr. Fujimura, an ardent Christian who lives in New York, shared some words about the true meaning of Christmas and their opportunity as artists to create works that help bring hope into the world.
Reflecting on that event, Fujimura wrote: I was convinced, that evening in Tokyo, that Jesus invited Himself to be among artists who may not even know His name. Some of these artists, I suspect, have already sensed His presence in their studios as they labored to create peace via their paintings. All gifts of creativity, like the Magis [star], point straight to a stable in Bethlehem.
Paul said that God is at work among people of all nations so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being (Acts 17:27-28).
We should be alert for the Lords presence where we least expect to see Him. Jesus may invite Himself to any Christmas party. After all, its His birthday.
The star shines forth in its glory bright
To lighten the gloom of earths darkest night;
And Calvarys Christ will still impart
His comfort and love to the needy heart. Richey

That is so beautiful, Mr. Mayor. I want Him at my party definitely. I want HIM by my side today as I am preparing. Wishing a Blessed Christmas to you and your family!
