Well, it is officially Winter and although it is cool, it is nothing like Maryland winters, thank God! I haven't been to the pool for 3 days because it has been rainy and thunderstorming. Also a lot has happened since I last blogged. I can't tell you everything, but I do want to wish you a wonderful, heartfelt Christmas with those you love. I will be with my newly adopted Church family on Sunday and during the time between Christmas and New Year, I will be visiting my friends from Maryland.

Wow, Christmas already and life is so wonderful! I praise God for sending Jesus, birthed in a lowly, dirty, animal barn, so all of us, no matter how low we think we are, we can have full, personal, access, to the King of Kings and His saving , abundant and wonderful power! If the King of Kings had been born in a ritsy castle, some of us would not have access to Him. We don't deserve such a wonderful gift, thank God we don't get what we deserve!
God loved the world so much, that he gave Jesus, His Son, (the only one) to die a horrible death, just so we could be reconciled back to God in a personal relationship. Jesus is God's gift to us, really, the only one we need. It doesn't make logical sense, and if you are looking for logic, you won't find Jesus. God is Spirit, He is real, Jesus is Spirit that became flesh and grew up in this world so we are without excuse. We are spiritual beings, we just happen to live temporarily, in a body, which, when our spirit leaves, it dies and recycles back to dirt, We are not dirt, only our bodies, so we don't die. Our spirit goes somewhere, we get to choose, (thank God He gave us free will to choose) Life everlasting with Him or torment everlasting in hell with the devil. We have been given the gift of Jesus, it is our choice to receive the gift or choose everlasting hell!
Jesus is the only way to everlasting life. Even if you have been a "good" person and are "alright" in your own eyes, Jesus is still the only way. We didn't make the rules!
The greatest gift that I could give you at Christmas (or any other time) is the gift of Life through Jesus Christ! He is the answer to any problem I have ever had. I spent too much of this brief life that I have in this body, abusing it (the only place I have, for God to live in me). I also spent too much of my life consumed with me, my stuff and "mine". His plan for me, is to share the wonderful truth about Jesus to everyone I meet so they can have eternal life with Him too.
I encourage you, if you know Jesus personally, don't allow the adversary to make you ashamed to share the Prince of Peace you know. If you don't know Him personally, He is very near, and just wants to be invited into your heart. Won't you ask Him in today? You will never regret it!! It will be the best Christmas ever had and you will never forget it! I love you all and I hope I can tell you soon about all the excitement and wonderful moving of the Holy Spirit. I wish you Jesus for Christmas!!!
