A mother had been Christmas shopping all day long with her children, and was quite worn out by the end of the day. On her way out of the mall, the Mother dragged her children into an already-packed elevator along with all their bags and presents. As the doors closed, she couldn't handle any more, and said out loud with an annoyed sigh, "Whoever started all this Christmas stuff should be arrested and shot." From somewhere in the jam-packed elevator, everyone heard a calm, confident voice say, "Don't worry, we've already crucified Him."  All the rest of the way down the elevator, you could have heard a pin drop. This year, don't forget to keep the One Who started "all this Christmas stuff"  in your every thought, deed, purchase, and words. If we all did, think how much better our world would be. Will you take the challenge?

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life."

-John 3:16
