Merry Christmas!

The snow is falling softly and steadily, coating the branches of my evergreen with the most beautiful blanket of white. It's picture perfect! Jonathan, my brother, is launching my rocket pen across the room and catching it each time (amazing skill, I tell you), threatening to shoot it at Katie if she doesn't cooperate. The breakfast dishes are done, and presents are about to be tackled. It's funny really-- when we were young, Christmas morning was a time to bound out of bed and open presents immediately. Now, we all prefer to sleep until 10, eat the breakfast feast by noon, open presents, and then handle dinner later. Hooray for sleep and vacation and times with family.

But above all, what an amazing event we celebrate today: the God of the entire universe entered into our world, disturbing the natural order established by our corruption, to forever re-route the course of human history. He is Immanuel-- the God With Us-- the God who Saves! Jesus, be honored in our hearts today.
