Seasons

I was talking to my wife a few days ago about how for me this Christmas season hasn't really felt that much like Christmas... wondered if it was because we are in California where it doesn't snow and its never that cold, or if it was just about the busyness I am captured in at this moment, or what it is? For some reason the closest I can get to Christmas feeling is grabbing a Starbucks Carmel Hot Chocolate and walking around in the nighttime when its colder out, looking at Christmas trees, and going to the Americana where the whole entire outdoor mall is covered in Christmas lights and even has snow machines during the evenings... haha...

There are a handful of people that work super super hard during this season, so that the other 90 percent of the world can fully enjoy the Christmas season... Around here everything is Christmas, production, outreaches, everything we can do to make other peoples lives better during this season... making other peoples dreams come true. And though I do not have a direct role in the Christmas play we are putting on here I am directly effected by all the efforts to help people at the Dream Center this year, and I just wanted to say that as much as I Love this season, I don't mind giving up the "experience" that is the month of December, so that we can properly and effectively help others and tell people about Jesus. Of course, on Christmas Eve when I go home for the week, I am going to shut down the work mode, relax, and celebrate the season. But in the meantime, I would rather work hard on this end to ease the load of the people in the productions, and building these outreaches, so that other people can have a Christmas too. If not, I would not be doing what I am doing. The End, and Merry Christmas.
