Oh My Kids...

So as most of you know I work at an after school program at a school in Saint John. Well every second Thursday we go to the computer lab and the things most of the kids like to do best is watching videos on You Tube, well one of my boys we'll call him "Bono" (thanks for the name Emma. Well anyways Bono loves the video "I Like to Move It" from the movie Madagascar! This past Thursday Bono asked me to bring up the You Tube web page, so I did, and I watched him type in the video he wanted to search for and he typed in "I Like To Moo" and I said to Bono, ummm I think you spelt it wrong which he replied, "Nope, you'll see". So I did see and the video above it what came up...

A Lesson From Whoville

If you removed Santa, the trees, and presents from Christmas, what would you have left? Oh Yeah the most important part, the birth of Lord, Jesus Christ, God's Son who was sent to save mankind. That is what I am celebrating this year and every year.

Looking at Christmas from the outside, you share the perspective of another lost soul who once totally misunderstood the meaning of Christmas: Dr Seuss' Grinch.


Every Who down in Who-ville, the tall and the small,
Was singing! Without any presents at all!
He hadn't stopped Christmas from coming!
It came
Somehow or other, it came just the same!

And the Grinch, with his grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow,
Stood puzzling and puzzling: "How could it be so?
It came without ribbons! It came without tags!
It came without packages, boxes or bags!"
And he puzzled three hours, till his puzzler was sore.
The the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before!
"Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store."
"Maybe Christmas...Perhaps...Means a little bit more!"

And it sure does, while we are running around getting ready for the big day, please take the time to think about what Christmas really is about....

Jesus Spit on Me

Mark 8:22 - 30

"They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man's eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, "Do you see anything?" He looked up and said, "I see people; they look like trees walking around." Once more Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. Jesus sent him home, saying, "Don't go into the village."
