As Christmas is just around the corner, I thought that it would be a good time for me to write this little blog. I see people running around worrying about what presents to buy and who is suppossed to be where for some event that someone is putting on, and all the while I think to myself, 'What is this world coming to?'
I have to admit, I am no saint when it comes to Christmas Holiday Shopping and wanting this that and the other thing. But, thanks to the monetary hardships I've been through over the last year, I have had plenty of time to think about my life and beliefs.
I don't believe that people should be so worried about going out and buying gifts for friends and loved ones. That is because I don't believe that is what Christmas is all about. Christmas is a time for everone to be at home with their loved ones. It is the day of Christ's birth, and he didn't have much at his birth, other than a manger.
So as you go out and about this Christmas season, don't go and stress over presents and such, but just focus on being home for the holiday and spreading Peace, Hope, Joy, and Love to those you love and care for.

Being a parent of Pastor's Kids I know that your parents will be filled with the Joy, Love, Peace and Hope of the Holy Spirit. As a parent, we pray that our children, on their own accord, come to the realization of Christmas as you have this year. Continue to keep God in everything that you do and He will guide you to your business if that is the call He has for you. God Bless you Alex, and I hope you will have the time with your family this Christmas. God be with you..Rev.KPS
Alex .. Colleague of Andy and Rachel .. you were
bright .. in school Pipestone. I had nine kids ..
they had advantages as well as cuting edges. You
will find way to do your journey .. faith is your lrg
up. You are loved .. never alone .. have gifts to
share which you are not yet aware you have. We
can not control what others do with Xmas. We do
not have to give it away .. make it commercial ..
complain what others do. Ours is to model and
become .. dream and find ways to make the dream
be a healing reality .. I think you will do that
