Advent Calendar - Day 14

 It's the holidays, so I'm trying to stay upbeat and positive, but I'm truly tired of Jesus being appropriated by people who call themselves "Christians," but actually would not approve of most of what Jesus said and did. 

People who believe that "The Lord helps those who help themselves," is an excuse to forget about taking care of the poor, the sick, the weak; forget about welcoming the "stranger;" forget about not judging others lest ye be judged. 

Well, I could go on and on (and did--but deleted it out). I'll just settle for sharing one of my favorite Christmas songs. I may have shared it before. Or maybe not. But it's an especially good year for it.
