MESSAGES

You have to admit, there's no other time of the year like Christmas time.  Though it's annual, it's also unique each year.  It's more than a day; it's a 'season' of rollercoaster emotions, memories, and worries, all compacted into 4 to 5 weeks.  Christmas time is a magnifying glass that exaggerates all that is good - and not so good - in our lives.  But the beauty and mystery of Christmas time is that it points us to something that is incredible and life-changing.  The event that "happened" 2,000 years ago in Bethlehem's manger is the game changer for the things "happening" in our lives this very moment.  In fact, God longs for us to understand our life cirumstances with Him at the center of it all.
