Born into a good family…

Luke 2-11

If ever there was an opportunity for God to enact his plan with a majestic flourish, it was at Jesus’ birth. But God did not presume upon humanity when he stepped in to redeem it. There was no pretense in this arrival. Rather, God chose to identify in the humblest way with those made in his image. The story of Jesus’ birth in Luke mixes praise with simplicity. Its contrast to the birth of John the Baptist is remarkable. John’s birth was announced in the capital, at the temple, in the center of the Jewish nation. But Jesus arrives in rural anonymity. John is the child of a priest and his righteous wife; Jesus belongs to Jews of average social status. Continue reading “Born into a good family…”

Thanks to Christmas

by Kaylee Peters

What if we didn’t have Christmas what if,
We couldn’t spend Christmas with our family,
Or we couldn’t wish our friends a Merry Christmas.
Or we couldn’t make memories on this special day,
Or we couldn’t do the things we do on Christmas,
Thanks to God we don’t have to worry about that,
He gave us Jesus and Jesus’ birthday,
He gave us family time,
He gave us memories,
He gave us Merry Christmas,
He gave us that day, that moment,
That we spend doing the stuff we love with people we love,
So Christmas isn’t about presents,
Or toys or decoration or who gets what,
It’s about Jesus,
And what he has given us,
So Thank-You

Kaylee Peters, 13, is the daughter of Karin (Kehler) & Menno Peters, and the granddaughter of Benjamin & Martha Kehler, Steinbach, MB.

TROY, NY — As he sat at his locker stall Tuesday at RPI’s Houston Field House, Myles Stoesz sported a badge of his role for the Albany Devils. The area around Stoesz’s left eye was discolored, and just above the cheekbone he sported a gash.

“This was from the (helmet) visor,” he said, pointing to the gash received in a fight with Toronto’s Kyle Neuber, “and this (left eye) is the one punch that hit me.”
