It is times like these that this particular form of communication is helpful, yet seemingly impersonal. I wish to emphasize to all my family and friends...that the things I write here are heartfelt. And sincere. .......Well....sincere in that I mean I hope you know when I am being facetious and when I am being a little more serious. Hell...I dont know why I would expect anyone else to know! Half the time I dont know. I like to mix it up a bit...a bit of truth with a bit of....well...whatever it is. Sometimes I just like to make it up as I go. A little fantasy....Something based on a reality that is real to me , yet....well...License I think they call it...whom-ever they are.....The main thing is....this: I use this platform to empty my brain. If I didnt do that, the stuff would keep me up the rest of the night. The part I may actually get to sleep in. Because right now....I hardly ever sleep before 4 am...its called a habit. I figure if it had been called a hobbit I would have been rich! But no...as usual...a couple letters off. Oh well.....see what I mean? Its hopeless. So ...to all to whom I have not wished a Merry Christmas to in a personal digital cheap assed no count lazy assed no card or gift way.... a way in which there is questionable real affection....in a way where there is no real touch or warmth....let me just say this. Merry Christmas! I am a true Believer....I actually believe in the Guy whose birthday we celebrate this time of year. I believe He is who He says He is...I believe He did what they said He did....I believe He does what He says He does....I believe this because I have pursued Him....and knowledge and understanding on the subject. I have , for many years, actually tried to understand what it is He teaches. Not just like friending Him ....but really trying to know Him as best as I can from the resources available. I listen to those folks who have put real effort into understanding the writings and the history. Some of those folks dont inspire me...some do.... I listen to differing viewpoints. I try to listen to everything I can about Him and His message. From more than just one viewpoint. And I have come to a point now, in my life, where I can honestly say, I am a believer. I am NOT a very good DOER however. But I do believe. And I do what I can, where I can, when I can, to help make things better. Lord knows I am no picture of the Christian sort of life. and yet...maybe I am. I hope so....because I try. I am a weak and worn out man.....yet I feel like I have worth and benefit yet to give and share. And to receive. Anyway....I got distracted.....sorry... I just want to say to all my friends and family...in a digital cheap assed no gift no wrapping paper, no pre-supposed artificial way.....like I mean...fer reaL DUDE! sort of way...... Merry Christmas! No...really! Merry Christmas! I hope you take into consideration what it is you are really celebrating....why you give your children EVERYTHING imaginable...why you work so hard to make someone else happy....why you go to the trouble to hang lights and tinsel and why you cook all day and why your relatives feel the need to drop in...... Its REALLY good news.....that is what the word gospel means...Good News! And I believe it is and it is real. Because if it wasnt....then the news from a tiny town in a tiny place so long ago from a young man who spoke for only 3-4 years....who had NO credentials from anyone anywhere and who expressed Himself so plainly, and who envied no office or position, who actually tried to avoid His calling in the end....How could this happen? He really made a difference in His short time here...More so than really anyone else every did...and He did it without CNN...or FOX....imagine that! His words have been around for a long time. It takes a bit of work to understand them. Or at least, it did me. Anyway....Its almost 2am....been a fun day all in all. I am grateful for all who came by and participated in the birthday feast....it was awesome. But really...I am looking forward to gearing up, driving to the other side of town, and going for a walk with my good Friend....behind the cemetery.....in the snow storm....And experiencing the quiet blessings I am given...everyday. I thank each and everyone of you...I am grateful for your presence in my life, be it real and in person, or digital......long distance....it doesnt matter. What matters to me is..... you.... God Bless Stay Tuned I do Tunes
