Well to the music from the collection of three thousand songs this tune exemplifying the "Sound of Philadelphia" in the 1970's...

                                                               "LOVE TRAIN"-O'JAYS

                       "LIVING TOGETHER, GROWING TOGETHER"-THE 5TH DIMENSION

   

                                   "GOD REST YE MERRY GENTLEMEN"-NAT KING COLE

"Remember Christ our Savior was born on Christmas day, to save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray..."

Some of the lyrics from that classic Christmas carol that say a lot about the ultimate real meaning of Christmas I sat down and heard this message in church last Sunday...

"I believe that Love is one of the most maligned words in the English language.  It's overused and abused.  

We say things like 'I love my hot dog'...

And the problem is we use the word "Love" in these statements and we're consuming. We're getting from or even devouring these objects of our so-called Love.

If we love our hot dog what do we do we devour it.  In the same breath while we're eating our hot dog and saying we love our hot dog we say we love our wives.

And I hope they mean different things.

Unfortunately for many of us they do not mean different things..."

PASTOR JEFF SMITH STARTING AT 55 MINUTES INTO THE VIDEO LINKED BELOW...

   ADVENT LOVE-PASTOR JEFF SMITH (MESSAGE BEGINS AT 53:05 INTO VIDEO)

"But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law"

                                             GALATIANS 5:22-23 ESV BIBLE

Sometimes when I go into work I see a man praying on a rug nearby and to be honest with you I don't feel like interrupting him or pushing my trash cart into him (I'm the janitor you know).

But in Israel this is not the case a man running his All Terrain Vehicle into a man praying on his rug...

The man driving the ATV identified as a military reservist and there's more to the story...

"Settler reservist rams ATV into praying Palestinian in West Bank; IDF launches probe Perpetrator who's now had weapon confiscated earlier fired gun inside village..."-Times of Israel

They say the perp has been placed under house arrest as well.
