The discussion made me think of something a Catholic priest once said on a television show: "If you want to make God laugh, tell him what your plans for the future are."

Then I thought of what Pope John Paul II recently said about the movie, "The Passion: "It is as it was."

And that made me think of Jesus, and what He once said: "I am."

Afterwards, I thought about the latter quote and concluded that Jesus is, which led me to another thought about something else Jesus said: "Trust in Me.

After discerning all the other predictions through the centuries, it seemed plausible to trust in Him.

Consequently, I decided to trust in Him and let others worry about His master plan.

Meanwhile, Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year to all, particularly those whom He will allow to be born as part of His master plan.

And it would seem to me, that as long as He continues to permit the birth of new babies, those who escape abortion, He just might not yet be in a hurry to abort the earth.

Nevertheless, He is. And He always will be.

Enjoy the Christmas Holidays (Holy Day) and trust in Him

I asked a rather simple question and some the the replies have been much more than I had expected and most impressive.

A bastard child of a Jewish carpenter was born in squalid poverty around 2,000 years ago, and it changed the world forever.

Christmas is a time of celebration, joy and sharing of love. It is also a time to contemplate a few lessons we rarely hear talked about.

If Jesus was born in Bethlehem today, under similar financial, racial, marital and educational conditions, would we recognize him for what he is?

As I contemplate this holiday, I realize how special the people surrounding him at the time of his birth truly were.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
