Merry Christmas

“Mary Did You Know?

Written by Buddy Greene and Mark Lowry

Mary did you know,
That your baby boy, will one day walk on water?
Did you know,
That your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know,
That your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you’ve delivered,
Will soon deliver you.

Mary did you know,
That your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Did you know,
That your baby boy will calm the storm with his hand?
Did you know,
That your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little baby,
You’ve kissed the face of God.

Oh, Mary did you know?
The blind will see,
The deaf will hear,
The dead will live again,
The lame will leap,
The dumb will speak,
The praises of the Lamb.

Mary did you know,
That your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Did you know,
That your baby boy will one day rule the nations?
Did you know,
That your baby boy is heaven’s perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you’re holding,
Is the Great I Am.

‘Tis The Season

Embarrassing Fact About Me #217:

My three favorite Christmas albums, in order:

1) The Beach Boys
2) Celine Dion
3) The Statler Brothers

And that’s why I’ll never be President.

Too Many People

I ventured out today and was immediately sorry.

You get warned about the pre-Christmas shopping, and you actually just build up a natural response: pre-Christmas shopping = awful/don’t go out/stay home. But the days immediately following are just as bad, I think.

I’ve spent the majority of the last few days playing through a Star Wars RPG (role-playing game, in case you needed to know), and it was great, but now I’m without a game to play. It’s semi-amusing to watch the cats interact, but the hissing and growling gets old after a while, and now I wish they’d just get along.

So… back to the couch, I guess.
