Christmas is not my birthday

Christmas is many time a product rather than a celebration. If you do not have the "spirit" you are considered a Grinch.let me explain the "spirit". The spirit is not always bad in fact most of time it has great value. the negative connotation that i am giving it refers to the ability of those great things distracting you from the pure joy and awe that is found in a reflective and celebratory time of christmas. the spirit should be like more like pure joy, ecstasy if you will; celebrating that Jesus came down!God himself left heaven(the most wonderful place imaginable) went to a small speck of revolving dust to help the small dust people. I think we know this concept most of the time.
I have many inquiries as to why we have the tree as a symbol before the star and the manger is such a small item that is often hidden in the corner.
I also believe that Christmas is a time for forgetting about ourselves and embracing the process of reconciliation. Re-gifting is a wonderful idea...God gave us grace and mercy..give it back not because it is "Christmas" but because Christ did so for us. Much of this is elementary and simple but i feel it has much weight and value in this time.

the makings of

take just a little
become naked to the world
conspire your own truth that makes you seemingly free
liberty is not always a physical notion but rather an emotional freedom
just a peak outside the box will give you right prescription
induced by friction the world turns, contorts veiws and thoughts
made to burst
made to pop

chivalry

when a man opens a door for a women it should be not only to put her first in a loving sacrificial sense but simply because she is much more attractive and generally easier on the eyes

number two reason would be because when the woman trails behind the man it leaves a ambiguous unsettling feeling in your gut. It takes away from the idea that the Man is to be the leader....If he is a true leader he would serve.

my journey

I am in colorado and all is well.. I have been in school for two weeks now and thoroughly enjoy it..also helping out once in awhile at a church plant (Denver United) It is fantastic. my time is almost swallowed without a ruitine and it is just to similar to a twilight zone of some sorts. There happens to be a strong belief in physical fitness at the school which is a huge benefit but the soreness is a little unsatisfying :)

pretty much radical
