Mary Christmas, Jim Robinson. Merry Christmas Freepers! Make a joyful noise unto the Lord.

[MHGinTN]

WOW! What a magnificent command of his instrument! With enunciation like that, he has had professional training ... and it is so marvelously in evidence.

[MHGinTN]

Merry Christmas, Brother. Give those little ones a carrot in my name, eh?

[Mark17]

Merry Christmas to you and yours, Bro!

Thank you MHG. Merry Christmas to you and yours as well, and to all of you Evangelicals, and to any I may have inadvertently left out. It is already Christmas morning here, and will probably reach 85 degrees too. God bless.

About 10 years ago we attended a Christmas concert at a Los Angeles church where Sykes sang that. One of the guys who had just written it — Greene or Lowry — was there as well. Everyone had chills.

[MHGinTN]

Here in East TN it is scheduled to reach 70 degrees Christmas Day. I’m planning to take my new housekeeper to the range, ‘tween showers.

[Mark17]

You're going to the range on Christmas? That is almost un American.

:-)

[MHGinTN]

Teaching someone to use tools is very American.

[mitch5501]

we have 100+ here!

[Mark17]

I hope you can enjoy a good old "American" turkey dinner. They have stores here, that cater to the foreigners living here, and often times, they have great butter ball turkeys, but this time, I couldn't find a turkey if my life depended on it. I guess I will have to choose between lumpia, kinilaw, embutido, afritada, pancit, adobo, tocino, longganisa, and a few other choice morsels. I will try to survive.

[Mark17]

Ouch. It is usually above 85 Fahrenheit, 365 days a year, but it doesn't get hot like it does down under. I grew up in snow and ice. I don't miss it.

[MHGinTN]

I’m cooking a boneless leg of lamb tomorrow/Christmas Day.

[Elsie]

Strangely; they do not like them; or much any other thing we humans might put into a salad.

[daniel1212]

She she know at that time or understand at that time all that that entailed?

No, but by "in essence" i meant she realized enough to know He could do so. If the song asked, Mary, did you know, that the Son you had would worry and confuse you, did you know that your baby boy would someday be rejected by His own, for His Father's will and business was not always understood by you, then the answer would be no.

And if the song asked,

Mary did you know that your baby boy will be shown with goddess some say is you?

Mary did you know, that your baby boy would be said to make you the exalted Queen of Heaven?

Did you know that your baby boy would not only be prayed to but you?

This child that you've delivered, will be said to be much like you?

Mary did you know, that your baby boy will be said to call you ever-sinless?

Mary did you know, that your baby boy will be said to call you ever-virgin?

Did you know that you will be beseeched as almost almighty?

And when you kiss your little baby, you have kissed your fellow-redeemer?

Oh Mary did you know that your baby boy will be said to already have raised your body to Heaven?

Did you know men will say that you dispense all grace to men?

Priests will leap, Catholics will speak, praises of you as surpassing all in creation?

Then the answer would be God forbid.

[Mark17]

I’m cooking a boneless leg of lamb tomorrow/Christmas Day.

Good for you. It's already 9:15 AM Christmas morning here.

[daniel1212]

. Can't we just stay within the confines of her revelation and praise the Lord From Heaven in this music, without a debate? .The song is about Jesus.

Amen. If only. But true to religious form, someone had to make it about Mary, to which i responded.

[Mark17]

And also, Maligayang Pasko.

[ealgeone]

Yes, sir! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[Mrs. Don-o]

I love, love, love this song. Thank you so much.

Merry Christmas, MHGinTN!

Ham and potato salad on this side of the subdivision!!! Butterballs sold out early, but ham is always available here in the Philippines! Besides it is PORK!

[Mark17]

Chicken macaroni salad, fruit salad, embutido, fried chicken, pork. Norhaya and JR are not here today, so we can have pork. S & R and SM staff, still haven’t figured out inventory management, which is why I couldn’t get a turkey. Even our domestic helper showed up to help cook. Yesterday, she made dinaguan, but I can’t take that. We are enjoying our day, even with the incessant heat. That’s why God created air con.
