I delcare a Festivus for the Restofus!!
Airing of Grievances
The celebration of Festivus begins with Airing of Grievances. It consists of lashing out at others and the world about how one has been disappointed in the past year.
Let the beatings - BEGIN!!
I will start.
I can't stand all of the Roy Williams hate on the forums. If you are a RW hater and wish to stir the pot, then I have a nice gift for you.

Merry Christmas everyone!
I was kind of hesitant to post in this thread because I didn't want to offend anyone with this screenname. Rest assured this is just a name I've been using for video game save files since I was a kid. Nothing more:

Merry X-mas CZ. I echo all the well wishes posted earlier. Please enjoy your day as best you can. If your home with family and friends or far away, remeber that this day is about something more. Sometimes it's hard to remember that but it's true. However, if the turkey is on the table and there is a gift or two with your name on them, might as well enjoy those too.
Merry Christmas Everyone.
Merry Christmas Everyone.

An excerpt from a letter written by a missionary couple in Brazil:
“Driving through Christmas traffic, fighting the drizzling rain, I chanced on a 4-year-old little girl. She was wet and cold and shaking. Her clothes were ragged, her hair was matted, and her nose was running. She walked between the cars at the stoplight, washing headlights because she was too short to wash windshields. A few gave her coins, others honked at her to get away from their vehicles.
“As I drove away only some 50 cents poorer, I raged at God for the injustice in the world that allowed the situation. ‘God, how could you just stand by, helpless?’
“Later that evening, God came to me softly with that still small voice and responded not in like kind to my rage, but with tenderness, ‘I have done something. I created you.’”
This letter is reprinted in the book "The Holy Wild" by Mark Buchanan. His notes indicate that he lost the original source for the story, so I can not properly credit the person who originally wrote this letter. I read this for the first time yesterday morning, and the impact has stayed with me for the last 24 hours. The section of the book where this story is recounted is focused on God's love for us, and how we can rest in that love. The chapter goes on to say:
"Like God's forgiveness, God's love only becomes real to those who give it away. To rest here, we keep having to give our fifty cents' worth."
Wow. Could there be a more profound message for us at Christmas time?
The message is so simple, yet in it's simplicity it encompasses the very essence of God's message to us, given through the gift of His Son... "Love one another. In the same way I loved you, you love one another". (John 13:34)
"My beloved friends, let us continue to love each other since love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and experiences a relationship with God. The person who refuses to love doesn't know the first thing about God, because God is love--so you can't know him if you don't love. This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him. This is the kind of love we are talking about--not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they've done to our relationship with God. My dear, dear friends, if God loved us like this, we certainly ought to love each other. No one has seen God, ever. But if we love one another, God dwells deeply within us, and his love becomes complete in us--perfect love!" (1 John 4:7-12)
Please be sure to take the time to recognize the gifts He gave to you this year. Enjoy them. But remember, in order to fully realize the magnitude and wonder of those gifts, you need to give them as well. God gave us His love - a perfect gift. Follow his lead... Keep giving your fifty cents' worth.
