It is Christmas Eve Morning and I am beginning to see the light at the enc of a long tunnel. Right after Graduation we began a series of work to change the house around that has left all of you readers in the dark for a few days as you probably that since I was now a doctor I was off doing Dr Pepper commercials. Well I was really doing the following. Clearing our the stuff In the old office upstairs so I could move my stuff in. Then after much moving several desk being given away and trip to the dump I could begin the move. I have a lot of books guys and it takes a bunch to move all my stuff. Then once then my old office was empty it was cleaning and then paintiing. After painting it is moving Brittany downstairs to the old office which is really like a copy of the master suite in the house. She is loving it. I like my new office also as it is on the main level of the house next to the Master Bedroon and with a door near the front door for folks who come by to see me. Why am I writing about this simple because this is most of what has consumed me for the last 10 days. We also have to clean up Brittany's carpet and swap the furniture in two bedrooms upstairs but we are almost done with that also. I think there is a chance we will be done today Yea!
I am already started on new years resolutions. First I am going to read the Bible through again next year. I have already started. I am using a different program this time which is on my computer instead of using Crosswalk. I am also determined to get myself in a little better shape next year physically.
It is Christmas eve and I am rambling about stuff. I am thinking today and it was the first thought of the day that tomorrow is the day that we celebrate Jesus. His coming. God became a man. So He could bring us to himself.
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. on the move around the house, but even greater as I begin to celebrate this Christmas I can see the Light of the reality of His presence in my life like never before. This is a great Christmas eve thought. I will be writing a little more so do not lose heart valiant readers I will soon be back with updates.
Police Chaplain Scotty Davis: Random thoughts often lead to theological wonders as did your comments in your Christmas Eve Thoughts. Immanuel - God with us!
In a similar manner, I captured eight years of persona thoughts re: volunteer police chaplain encounters of tragedy, crime, and abuse in a published piece entitled Stories of the Street: Images of the Human Condition. It consists of 21 stories each asking 'where is God in this story?' I hope I am not being too direct with this email, but, like your Christmas Eve piece, I find great comfort in working with public servants who put their lives on the line each day. God's blessings to you in 2009 and in your multiple opportunities to serve God with us.
