He lies in a manger but contains the world; He nurses at the breast, but feeds the angels; He is wrapped in swaddling clothes, but vests us with immortality; He found no place in the inn, but makes for Himself a temple in the hearts of believers. In order that weakness might become strong, strength became weak (St Augustine, sermon 190, 4)

The love of things invisible.

[banji-effect]

Joy, health, love and peace, Be all here in this place; By your leave, we will sing Concerning our King.

Our King is well dressed, In the silks of the best, In ribbons so rare, No King can compare.

We have travelled many miles, over hedges and stiles, In search of our King, Unto you we bring.

We have powder and shot To conquer the lot; We have cannon and ball To conquer them all.

Old Christmas is past, Twelfth-tide is the last; And we bid you adieu, Pray joy to the new.

If you're wondering was "JS" stands for, it's James Spader. I'm on a bit of an obsessive kick about him right now. I'm bingeing The Blacklist on Netflix, but I also want to check out the free films available on other streaming services. Don't judge.

As I move through the days, I'm marking each item with a blue or green check mark. The green check ✅ means I did the activity on the day I planned to do it.

The blue check ☑️ means I did the activity, just not on the day I planned to do it.

Ok. That's it for now. I'm interested in seeing how this will go.

My Christmas card to you all.

[biblebloodhound]

Jesus of Nazareth (Matthew 2:13-23)

The littlest, the lowly, the least, the lost, the lonely, and the last, all matter.

Nazareth Village, Israel When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.” So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was…
