Christ In Christmas

I saw a post about Christ in Christmas. So many places of business opt for “Season’s Greetings.” While there are a couple other celebrations happening in December, let’s be honest....it’s CHRISTMAS the retail world is recognizing, if not celebrating. I’ve got friends who are Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, and Bahai. I will wish them a Merry Christmas in the best tradition of Christian welcome and fellowship. I’m pretty sure they will know where I’m coming from and what I hope for them. And, I’m pretty sure they won’t feel I’ve tried to discriminate or convert them. Have a Merry Christmas!

I transported a very lightly sick 94 year man to the hospital today. He was as clear minded as anytime in his life. We chatted the entire 20 minutes or so to the hospital, telling about his career and education and asking me, very specifically, "What did you go to school for, is it what you ended up doing for a career, and would you do it again." A great conversation and a reminder to NEVER discount our older population. They are people with full lives and conversations to have. By the way, to answer his question: Radio and Television Broadcasting, Paramedic in the field and education, yes...in a heart beat.
