the saturday morning post...
there's nothing better than a quiet saturday morning, where it seems that you could do absolutely nothing all day long, and be perfectly content to lie under the covers and read a good book. of course, i rarely do that for more than a half hour on a saturday morning, but its knowing that you could if you wanted to that is really important, ya know? lol... for those of you who are dying to know, the new bed is working out nicely; no more backaches and the such... :) its a bit after eleven, and i am mostly in the same state i was when i woke up, i.e, i haven't done much except to add a hoodie to my outfit, which also includes some gym shorts, for those that care. def. ready to go out in the world! (not) but, it is saturday, and so this kinda of behaviour is deeemed acceptable; indeed, perfectly normal. and herein lies the beauty of saturdays. but? nonetheless, there are things that must be accomplished today. a quick tune up of my truck, a run to the dump, and then, i think, the final bit of christmas shopping. okay, i lied. i have only bought one gift. so, i have almost all my christmas shopping left to do. and yes, i am aware of how close it is to christmas at this point, but i'm a guy, it just wouldn't be right to have all my shopping done already, ya know? guys everwhere will cheer in agreement, while the girls shake their heads in amazement at the masculine foolery. and such is life, on a saturday morning.

Come, let us worship and bow down
Before the Lord Most Holy
Before the King of Glory
Come and lay your burdens down
Before the Friend who's faithful
Before the One who's able
For He is our God
And we are His people
[Yes] He is our God
And we will never be forsaken
Come, let us lift our voice in praise
Unto the Rock of Ages
Unto the God who saves us
Come and glorify His name
All the earth together
All the saints forever
You are our God
And we are Your people
You are our God
And we will be with You Forever
Come Let Us Worship

let's not be too hasty...
so, i think that last year around this time posted something about Christmas that i think would consider a bit, well, pessimistic. i don't know that there was any reason for my mis-objectivity, but? i am here now to say i think i may have be mistaken, at least somewhat. while i still want to protest the commercilization of Christmas, i think that there is still something worthwhile that remains; here is where i differ from the last time around. there still seems to be something in the air around Christmas that is worth all the hustle and bustle, and that seems to justify the nonsense of some of it. i just wish that there was more focus on the proper aspects of what the holiday is all about, but? if nothing else, it is good to see people giving of themselves, trying to make others smile. surely there is worth in that, isn't there?
