Merry Christmas!

I know that saying, "Merry Christmas" is not politically correct, but... for those of us that still believe , for those of us that still have faith in America, our dreams and traditions – for those of us that want to bring hope to our neighbors, our family and the poor of the earth – I say, Merry Christmas!!

As Lisa and I council young married couples and listen to their struggles – as we listen to our friends going thru financial troubles, some of them destitution – one of our spiritual kids mother just took her life this week - as we struggle with our own family's issues – (some pretty major ones this Christmas)!

We all get to stop these next two days and remember one thing... A man took all of our burdens, all of our sin, all our triumphs and all of our confusion and placed it on a cross.

If you believe or not; if you insist on saying Happy Holidays and not Merry Christmas – it doesn't change what this man did and what He will do for you – This man, Jesus, was born and died for you, period. He didn't die for you because He needed you to perform; He didn't die for you to be perfect or go to church – He died for you with one thing on His mind... just you.

You are loved and sought after by the greatest man whoever walked the earth – He is desperately in love with you and your family – and all you have to do in return is say "Yes" I believe. That is all He asks...

So, Merry Christmas, and even happy holidays from the BlackTribe!
