O Little Town Of Bethlehem

From a small, nondescript, insignificant town comes the news of a boy being born. Not just any boy but the Savior of the world! Prior to being the birthplace of Jesus it was significant only in that it was also the birthplace of King David.
Through personal experience and observation I have seen that God uses most often the small, nondescript, and insignificant to accomplish incredible things. Even towns. And babies. And poor carpenters and young girls. It was the biggest news headline of the day and was missed by almost everyone. It's still the biggest news headline and it is still missed by too many. And while the little town of Bethlehem has grown up a bit, for we all do, it carries with it today the significance of being the birthplace of the Savior. The amazing news for us is that we can be the home place of the Savior!

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
