WHEN THE FULLNESS OF TIME WAS COME

"But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law" (Galatians 4:4).

[From The Berean Call: Jesus came in the fullness of time. He came when Rome dominated the known world with its Pax Romana (peace) making travel safer and a common language (Greek) made sharing information easier. He came when the practice of crucifixion, hitherto unknown in Israel, but prophesied in Psalm 22, was the Roman capital punishment. He came when the Law had been shown to be "our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith" (Galatians 3:24). He came when everything was ready.]

Merry Merry Christmas to all!

Dear lovelies,

I have truly found myself swamped the past few months and have unfortunately not kept up my blog as I should--I've got a bit more time over Christmas break and will attempt to opine a bit on all the Senate Insanity, etc, etc...Stay warm! CE

Yes, Mr. Jamieson, it is a Wonderful Life

Wendell Jamieson twists a look at my favorite movie of all time, asserting that, had George Bailey never been born, citizens of Bedford Falls would, indeed, have been better off--that the smarmy alternative town would have been more fun and more profitable.

Interesting. Most likely, sadly, true. Nevertheless, I choose Bedford Falls, where neighbors take care of each other without government interference, where everyone knows everyone else in town, where corruption is the exception and morality is the rule.

Martini of the Month: Candy Cane...plus a shot of Mistletoe

The Ol' Saint Nick (or can we say, INDULGENCE!)

Vanilla vodka
Little bit of peppermint schnapps
White chocolate liqueur

Shake up--add some half and half.
Drizzle grenadine into a glass rimmed in crushed candy cane or red and green sugar--add a little candy cane, of course!

Can't wait to try these!

(glass for sale here)

MISTLETOE APERITIF

 

1/2 oz.  Chambord 

1/2 oz.  melon liqueur

1/2 oz.  Orange liqueur

In a tall shot glass add Chambord, then gently pour Midori, the second layer, over the back of an inverted spoon so that it flows on top of the Chambord without mixing. Repeat the process using Orange liqueur. This makes a good holiday shooter. You can flambe it by igniting the top with a match. Blow flame out after a few seconds and make certain the rim of the glass has cooled before drinking.

CHRISTMAS IN IRAQ

MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESUS!

HAPPY HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE!

JUST ANOTHER REASON TO BE THANKFUL FOR WHAT WE'VE GOT--AND THAT IT WASN'T OUR KIDS WHO COMMITTED THIS DESPICABLE CRIME. GOD BLESS PEDRO AND THOSE WHO HELPED HIM.

The tragic story of a kind man who used a portable toilet one day in a park and ended up paralyzed inspired nearly 90 small business owners to embark on one charitable mission.

For six weeks, plumbers, roofers, and painters, just to name a few, worked hard at transforming Pedro Toala’s home into an accessible dream house. This former bus driver was the victim of what was deemed a prank, when a bunch of kids tipped over the portable toilet he was using in Wilmington, Delaware.

His story got lots of press attention locally, and many were moved when he forgave the men who ended up breaking his spine.

BACKLASH AGAINST HOLIDAY DECOR

READER'S COMMENT FROM BLACKFIVE-->HOO-AH, Y'ALL....AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Thursday, I was on my way home from a business trip through San Antonio. The airport was thick with Army camo, as Ft. Sam Houston was sending troops home on leave for Christmas.

I sat down in an airport restaurant for lunch, and noticed a young soldier working on his chips and salsa while waiting for his order. When the waitress took my order, I nodded toward the soldier, and asked to pick up his check. The waitress said, "Sorry, that guy over there already has it", pointing out another business man.

While working on my lunch, another pair of soldiers walked in. I called the waitress over, and nodded towards the pair. "Those two?" "Yep" -- so my afternoon mission was accomplished.

A few minutes later, an older couple came in and took a table. I noticed them looking around, gesturing towards the pair of soldiers while talking to the waitress. The waitress shook her head, and gestured towards me...

Nice to see an uncoordinated effort by civilians (I've never served), to make sure soldiers didn't pick up a check. Something Harry Reid and the New York Times just wouldn't understand.
