Creeping Christmas?
I love Christmas. The celebration of the birth of Christ and the beauty and wonder of the season make it the most wonderful time of the year for me. In recent years, however, the season has been accompanied by a growing irritation. Every year Christmas stuff comes out earlier and earliercreeping all the way back to early fall.
Christmas used to be limited to December, but now we find radio stations playing Christmas music in early November. Stores start advertising Christmas specials in October, and Christmas candy appears in late September. If were not careful, this growing deluge can numb useven sour us to what should be a season of gratitude and awe.
When that irritation begins to rise in my spirit, I try to do one thing: Remember. I remind myself what Christmas means, who Jesus is, and why He came. I remember the love and grace of a forgiving God who sent us rescue in the Person of His Son. I remember that, ultimately, only one gift really mattersGods indescribable gift! (2 Cor. 9:15). I remember that the salvation Christ came to provide is both the gift and the Giver all wrapped up in one.
Jesus is our life all year long, and He is the greatest wonder. O come, let us adore Him!
Living God, I thank You for the unspeakable gift
of Your Son. Draw my heart to Your own, that my
worship to and gratitude for Your Son will never be
diminished by the distractions of the world around me.
Jesus is our life throughout the year.
In todays passage, Paul explains that our salvation is the work of our triune God. First, God sent forth His Son (v.4). Second, Jesus came to accomplish our redemptionsetting us free from the bondage of the lawand to secure our adoption, making us sons of God and enabling us to enjoy the full privileges as Gods children (v.5). Third, God gave us the Holy Spiritthe Spirit of His Son, who endears and enables us to cry out Abba, Father! (v.6). The work all three persons of the Holy Trinity did to secure our salvation is also explained by Paul in Ephesians 1:3-14 and by Peter in 1 Peter 1:2. Jesus spoke of this as well (John 14:16-18,23-26; 15:26).

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION
The light of God surround you The love of God enfold you The power of God protect you The presence of God watch over you Wherever you are, God is, And all is well. Amen.
BLESS THIS HOUSE Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.

Drove in yesterday - the train wasn't running due to Veterans' Day. I was back on the train today - burst through the Sally Port at 0535 - on the train at 0603 - Union Station D.C. at 0629.
A leisurely petit déjeuner au "Pain Quotidien," then on to the Metro - hit the Office at 0745.
A good beginning to a successful day!

Good evening, Ms Feather...*hugs*...we got the checks cut today. We had an interesting half hour while the check printer said it was out of toner, the new toner didn’t work, and we didn’t have another spare. Finally got the machine to accept the new cartridge.
Still in the high 30s today.
