More and more, our world is split into the secular and the spiritual. We are asked by employers, friends, government and other general segments to keep our spirituality separate from their realm, as if there are domains that God has no business in. What a disgrace it would be to accept their propositions. Just because I walk through their storefront door, I am expected to leave behind, my God and Creator, my Savior, the Spirit that lives in me? I don’t think so.
I can’t practice my faith as I work? No one’s been able to stop it yet. Yes there is darkness and evil prowling the streets, and lurking in corporate boardrooms and executive suites, but the Light of the World will not be darkened.
Christmas is not a holiday season. It is a celebration of the birth and a homage to, the manifestation through Jesus the Christ, of God’s love for humanity; all of us, great and small, and everywhere in between. John 3:17 states, "For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."
I will be busy a great deal of the remainder of the year, as will most readers. I don’t know when I will post here again. But, from beneath the Carolina moon, I wish for you all a joyful, Christ filled and centered Christmas.

Hey,
linked your site to mine as one of my favourites. Hope that's OK with you.
Totally agree with your post today.
Gods love through Jesus was a gift beyond compare and it's sad to see the spirituality taken away from such a time.
Not that I necessarily agree with formalised religion and ritual wthout meaning. But greed replacing any trace of spiritual regard is an ugly sight.
with Love
Jon
