Hope that nor’easter is a bomb for your sake. And everyone’s up there in the path!

I have a rehearsal for Church Music scheduled, two lessons, dinner with bro, and a Christmas Party ALL scheduled during the projected storm. AARRGGHHHH!!!!!!!

[luvie]

Well, that’s going to be a challenge. I hope you don’t have to cancel, but it really sounds like a bad one.

Supposedly, it won’t be hitting till Thursday, so I might be able to make some adjustments in my schedule.

Did I tell you I hate winter?

[luvie]

I think I remember you mentioning once or twice how much you hate winter. LOL!

About the same amount that I hate our scorching hot summers. They are useless.

Meanwhile, right now we have brown skies because of the wind blowint the cotton fields from the Lubbock area down to our location, and my allergies are horrible. Almost like having a cold.

Eyew...sorry to hear that.

Scorching hot summers aren’t so bad if you have an ocean nearby, but Texas is a HUGE State, and lots of miles to get to the ocean.

[luvie]

That’s for sure No beaches or even lakes anywhere near here. Just sand and cactus and mesquite trees. Lovely. NOT! LOL!

But you do have bragging rights for being near the birthplace of Buddy Holly!

[luvie]

Very true. Also, we are the birthplace of the Gatlin Brothers. Roy Orbison was from Wink, about 40 miles away and had a live show on our local TV channel.

Happy GratiTuesday!
We had a 24 degree high today, but also partly sunny, so not all that bad.

Of course, I live walking distance from Aerosmith’s Recording Sudio, but I like your Artists better.

Christmas Awe

Bible in a Year:

• Amos 4–6
• Revelation 7

Let all God’s angels worship him.

Hebrews 1:6

I was in London one night for a meeting. It was pouring rain, and I was late. I rushed through the streets, turned a corner, and then stopped still. Dozens of angels hovered above Regent Street, their giant shimmering wings stretching across the traffic. Made of thousands of pulsing lights, it was the most amazing Christmas display I’d seen. I wasn’t the only one captivated. Hundreds lined the street, gazing up in awe.

Awe is central to the Christmas story. When the angel appeared to Mary explaining she would miraculously conceive (Luke 1:26–38), and to the shepherds announcing Jesus’ birth (2:8–20), each reacted with fear, wonder—and awe. Looking around at that Regent Street crowd, I wondered if we were experiencing in part what those first angelic encounters felt like.

A moment later, I noticed something else. Some of the angels had their arms raised, as if they too were gazing up at something. Like the angelic choir that burst into song at the mention of Jesus (vv. 13–14), it seems angels too can be caught up in awe—as they gaze on Him.

“The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being” (Hebrews 1:3). Bright and luminous, Jesus is the focus of every angel’s gaze (v. 6). If an angel-themed Christmas display can stop busy Londoners in their tracks, just imagine the moment when we see Him face-to-face. Reflect & Pray

When was the last time you felt a sense of awe? How can you rekindle a sense of awe over Jesus this Christmastime?

Father, I worship You. Thank You for the gift of Your awesome Son.

Aerosmith ain’t bad!
