This is it...Christmas week. I know that there is a lot on everyones mind(like a certain vote in the senate) It can be very easy to focus on different things and lose focus on what this week is all about.I was talking with my sister Mary Kay in Ohio (OOOOOthe snow)She reminded me of the fact that NO matter what happens in Washington----Bethlehem remains the same. It does not stop the real meaning of the season: the hope that God sent by sending Christ Jesus! Do not forget that when Jesus was born the Roman Empire was breathing down everyones back and political betrayal was an everyday reality. The reality that is truly important is the reality of the true HOPE sent that is why we can have hope this Christmas season....and always.I want to wish everyone here at Townhall the best of this Holy season!!!We (Mrs Crossbow and I) will be attending several musicals this week(Mrs Crossbow is in one of them!!) and a candlelight service in Virginia. What I like most about a candlelight service is the room is so dark at first--then the candles are lighted----one---by---one. Then the whole room is full of light!!In a way we do the very same thing here at Townhall. We light a candle of light and expose the darkness. I know the year is not over. I also know there is much to do---now and in the year to come. In the meantime let us light many candles!!Because the world so needs to see the light!! God Bless !!!
