It's Christ'mas Time!

Wow, this is quickly becoming my favorite time of the year (second only to Iraq homecomings) ...

I love this time of year, the time when we all get to reflect on that which matters most. Don't get me wrong, I can get "caught up" in the frazzle dazzle of it all as well; just as long and it doesn't "change" my line of sight ... we are ok!

First and foremost it is a time for a long good look and meditation on the greatest gift anyone could have ever thought to give ... The Life; in exchange for eternal life! Wow, what more can one ask? Everything else becomes secondary to that and vanity as wise old Solomon said.


But having said that, this for me is the time of year when I make the time to sit down and reflect on those we love. It is the one time I go "all out" and reach out to everyone. I take the time to send out a Christmas greeting ... not out of obligation but out of desire.

Being "travelers with the service" your list of friends and acquaintances can really grow! I believe I sent out close to 85 plus greetings this year! All joy however.

Our lives can get so "busy and full" with everyday stuff that we do not always make time for even a simple hello.

Sending out those cards is my way of telling everyone "hey, I may not call or see you on a regular basis; but you are on my mind!"

Letting those we care about know that they are "thought of" is a simple but much (I am sure) appreciated gesture.


So even if I can't find the time for hour long calls know that you are all thought of.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
