Christmas

Christmas is approaching quickly. People are buying presents and planning for the company that will be coming over for dinner. I have been thinking; where does this leave God? Truthfully speaking December is not the month of Jesus' birth. It is calculated that Christ was born around spring time. However, the Church has adopted to celebrate the birth of the Savior in the month of December. The Church adopted the month of December for several reasons, which I will not delve into here. Back to my question, where does all the buying of presents and holiday planning leave God? I am afraid that the meaning of why the Church celebrates Christmas has been forgotten. The Church does not celebrate Christmas just to show we care by buying things for other people. Rather, the Church celebrates Christmas, because God came as a child in order to relate with His creation, as well as the restoration of man in the eyes of a Holy God. Is that not the good news?

PSO

I am happy to say that I love videogames. Lately, it had been hard for me to make time to play videogames, because of family, studies, and several other things in my day to day living. However, my cousin found a way to play Phantasy Star Online (PSO) for the Gamecube and other console versions. This got me excited as he and I used to play PSO with our Dreamcast. Sadly, SEGA took the servers down as they moved to make games for the new generation consoles. I thought my old PSO days were all but gone, that is until my cousin and I started playing again. The experience has been exhilarating and I can't wait to have more adventures...
