Im going to be home near new years so i would be down for a Gala of sorts...
I guess it all really depends on the sorts though.
its funny i used to be able to post funny things on here with ease, now however i find myself having nothing to say.
ive been going around saying "happy holidays" at work to see what people do, and with it being a christian organization they are quick to reply in a firm Merry Christmas and then with the sternest face i can muster i reply with an equally firm... "I AM OFFENDED" and then i storm off...
well... i dont really storm off, but its funny all the same.
then i got to thinking about what ten years or so from now may be like...
ten years or less ago we would have thought that the concept of merry Christmas being an offensive phrase would have been absurd, and now here we are in the present with television personalities, public speakers, all the way down to retail, or food service employees having to be on their P's and Q's on what form of holiday wish they bestow upon the public
So who is to say that in ten or so years that saying merry Christmas might even bring charges.
we often wonder how things get to the way they are, and its things like "happy holidays". something that we laugh or scoff at first quickly becomes the marijuana of change... its a gateway.
but when i think about all of the underhanded cunning ways the devil uses to push Jesus further and further out of our lives, i try and think of ways that we can stop it and to be honest it seems like we are fighting a losing battle.
i think most importantly what we can do to slow things is to notice it beyond this world. i think too often we dont give satan the awful credit he deserves, and continue to portray him as some horned figure that gathers rent checks from the hell population...
but i think realistically he is more than likely the most beautiful thing we can imagine, and he feeds off of our ignorance. and he uses "X-mas", "Happy Holidays", Benny Henn, etc etc etc to defecate on the most perfect being in existence, and the worst part again is that we neglect the occurrence of the entire process.
in the grand scheme of things we have stopped sending Jesus the invite to his own party and addressed it to santa and presents and whatever else it is that this world deems acceptable. that doesnt happen over night... it starts with a very intelligent fiery lake landlord.
i didnt realize when i sat down to write that i would end up calling out the devil... but i guess with all the things being said i still managed to use some form of the word poop even if it was a pretty word for it....
