    I dream nearly every night about the last place I worked over 4 years ago (I'm 73) I am either looking for my office, someone I recognize, what should I be working on, etc.

    I'm glad that it isn't just me!  I have a few more years until I retire, but I am always dreaming about past jobs.  Jobs that I haven't worked at in years.  And it is always something going wrong.  Oddly enough, I never dream about my current job!

    Favorite Christmas Songs?

    For me it is "O Holy Night" (that song brings me to tears) 
    "Fall on your knees
    O hear the angels' voices
    O night divine
    O night when Christ was born"
    Beautiful stuff!  A not too distance second favorite is "Do you hear what I hear?"
    If you want a treat, look up the David Phelps version of O Holy Night on Youtube.  Amazing!

    I am baffled  as to how a scientific article about how Jesus may have looked has all but one of you going on about Christmas.  Does anyone even read articles that are posted?  Responding to the title isn't a good plan.  Good grief.  :rolleyes:

    I did read the article.  I thought it was interesting.  I did also assume this had something to do with Christmas, based on the title.  *shrugs*

    I'm going to agree with your thoughts, John.  My family will celebrate Christmas as family time and celebrate Jesus' birth as the greatest single ocurrance in the history of the world.  I see no problem or any reason to rain on others' holiday.  If one doesn't want to celebrate Christmas then they shouldn't and shouldn't tell anyone else what they're doing wrong either. 

    Well said, MorningGlory.  It seems there are always people wanting to throw a wet blanket over our joy, and we can't let that happen.

    I hear you.

    but if my people that are called by my name will humble them selves in the sight of the lord, we would be , still marching forward , not caring about if people are more exceptable to the word of God, one day a year.

    we should  be already telling people ,before and after Christmas and all through the year, and setting examples by our own lives and how we carry our selves in what we believe, to wait until that one time a year , is not acceptable, to me,

    all year long I have been talking and sharing jesus , and yes, I have lost friends and people don't want to hear it , but if they hear the word, and it catches that one person  God is drawing in on,

    then , we have accomplished what we are set out to do , to witness, to share , to show as living examples, and to stand firm in the word of God,

     I know that more may be acceptable to the story of Jesus , but this does not make up at all for , the rebellion and those that don't want to hear it and continue to live with out God, I think out way those then the ones willing to hear?

    I think the churches , have come to justifying and compromising , of a tradition that , is more damaging , then good, and will not stop the stone from rolling, it will continue to pick up more and more secular celebrations and conform with the world until there is no light left in the church,

    now this is my opinion, for we have lost sight of the true and living God, and you will hear in the churches the same old story of the baby jesus , but this is not of the gospel, of having faith , and believing , or about salvation now , or time is running out, your soul is in the balance , there is no message to turn your life around, it s watered down , and to make people feel good and loving, this has gone beyond the compromise of trying to show Jesus in a world , that don't want anything to do with Him,

    I don't believe that anyone in here is suggesting that we only talk about the Gospel of Christ once a year.  Also, just because THE WORLD has commercialized Christmas and done their best to make it a secular holiday does not mean that we as Christians have to as well.  We are not of the world, and for me and my wife, Christmas to us is about the birth of the living savior.

    And what do you mean by "the same old story of baby Jesus"?  I don't even have a comment for that.  On Easter do you talk about "that same old resurrection story"?  It's bad enough that we have to deal with the secular world minimizing Christmas, but now we have to hear it from other Christians as well.  I understand the frustration over the commercialization of it - completely understand - but we as Christians don't have to be a part of that.

    however that was not the direction the conversation went.   Sometimes it just works out that way.

    Haha - Yeah, that's what I was referring too.  I was just watching something about the B-52 on Modern Marvels the other day.  Truly amazing planes.  Back in the '80s I  lived just outside the main gate of Wurtsmith Air Force Base, which housed B-52s.  Watching those things fly right over your head as they are landing really accentuates the enormity of them!
