O Christmas Eve, O Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas Eve! I pray that you are safe and warm and smiling today. There has been some rough weather in the Midwest, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it home to Iowa tomorrow. I'm sure hoping so! We'll see what the next 24 hours brings.

In the meantime, I'm very excited for tonight's three Christmas Eve services.

What is bringing you the most joy today? What part of your Christmas Eve/Christmas Day traditions are you most excited about?

Enjoy this special day! Here's my favorite line from tonight's gospel text.

"Do not be afraid; for see - I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people"
-(an angel speaking to some random shepherds in a field)

I hope you are feeling filled with good news of great joy!

  1. I love that line, too! Kids are watching Charlie Brown Christmas right now, and nothing is better than Linus reciting the Christmas story. Makes even this kinda-agnostic tear up a bit.
