I have a friend. Her name is Coop. We never see each other, but will remain close forever. She challenges me, I miss her.
I wonder if Coop has ever thought about this before...
Upon Christmas season coming and arriving, I have begun my annual Christmas music listening ritual. This year is a bit different, and I have decided to think about the words of Christmas Carols. They are rich with meaning. I have know these things my whole life and sometimes missed it...
God rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay, remember Christ our Savior was born on Christmas day, to save us all from Satan's power, when we were gone astray.
O TIDINGS OF COMFORT and JOY!
I like most of us during the holiday season begin to focus on what is joyful and comfortable. Being with family and friends, sitting by the fire, watching the opening of presents, the decorations all over the streets and homes, joyful, comfortable.
Do we remember that Christ our Savior came and saved us "far as the curse is found(last verse of Joy to the World)." We are cursed with sin and death, headed to eternal separation from Him, and He saved us and those "far as the curse is found." He saved me, loved me, and made me righteous. Oh the depths of the riches of Christ! What message brings more comfort and joy?
Merry Christmas Linds. Lets do coffee.

Oh Merea,
You are awesome. I think coffee is a fantastic idea. I think I might see you on Sunday depending if I'm off work or not. I don't check that far ahead...life has been crazy lately! I already decided the first Sunday I'm off I'm heading out to Beaumont for some much needed Price time. Again, you ROCK.
Merea,
I just stumbled upon your comment on ye olde blog and it always is a pleasure to hear from you. You should really do it more often, and of course, I really should as well. Hope you are well. Merry Christmas
and I do concur that Lindsey Cooper has the coolness.
