I love to write. I also love the church and the ministry. I hope that this blog is the intersection of
those loves. Over the last year I have
addressed issues from the sublime to the ridiculous. Some essays have been well received and
others have had hostile reactions and, worst of all, some have been ignored
altogether. But I write anyway, just
because I like to put my random ideas on paper, or whatever the digital
equivalent happens to be.
However, in order to be more
effective and useful, I want your help in knowing what would make a good
article or essay in your opinion. Tell
me how I can help you in the New Year.
This survey is super short and will take you only a couple of minutes to
complete. I would be most thankful if
you would be so kind as to share your opinion with me.
Now on a completely unrelated and
frivolous subject.
I bet what we do with our old
Christmas tree is more exciting than what you do with yours. I want to share with you the video of The
Exploding Christmas Trees. This has
become our family tradition. I want to
include the Christmas tree Manifesto which reads as follows:
“Never in the history of trees
has the need been greater for a dignity movement for Christmas trees.
As Christmas trees we are loved,
adored, decorated, photographed and made part of the family until Dec 26th. Then we are thrown out like ripped wrapping
paper. We are tossed in ditches, thrown
in landfills, sunk in ponds and treated with no respect. We go from being the centerpiece of
decoration to nothing in a matter of hours.
The time has come for us to
receive the dignity we deserve in our passing.
We faithfully serve and bring cheer and we deserve better than to be
thrown out like trash. We deserve to go
out with flash, flare and zing.
In solidarity with trees
everywhere, we call for the great exploding Christmas tree to become the grand
finale to the Christmas tree season.”
