Jeanette at Oh How I Love Jesus asked me to post this. Her husband may possibly have suffered a heart attack. He is at the hospital and she is with him. His EKG this morning was good, and they are doing a catheterization tomorrow to be sure it wasn’t a heart attack.
Jeanette, you and your husband are in our prayers.
10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
KJV
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining;
It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here came the wise men from Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,
In all our trials born to be our Friend!
He knows our need—to our weakness is no stranger.
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend!
Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His Gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His Name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy Name!
Christ is the Lord! O praise His name forever!
His pow’r and glory evermore proclaim!
His pow’r and glory evermore proclaim!
Merry Christmas to one and all!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
That’d be Steyn’s money quote. Read it all. Oh yes, read it all.
This is why I don’t have any ornaments on the Christmas tree, just lights and bows.
His first birthday will be St. Patrick’s Day, so he’s still just a kitten.

And people here in the States were complaining about long lines to vote in 2004?
The Iraqi election commission extended voting by one more hour because of high turnout in the country’s historic parliamentary elections Thursday.
And to the surprise of coalition forces, violence in Iraq was much lighter than expected and the smattering of attacks didn’t appear to discourage Iraqis, some of whom turned out wrapped in their country’s flag on a bright, sunny day and afterward displayed a purple ink-stained index finger — a mark to guard against multiple voting.
There shouldn’t be any attacks at all, of course, but the fact that they were so minimal is wonderful. The Iraqi Security Forces are doing a great job.Fox News has the rest.

This is one of the most moving things I have read in quite a while. As an Army veteran, I can attest to the truth of it.
Today the battle-scarred, submerged remains of the battleship USS Arizona rest on the silt of Pearl Harbor, just as they settled on December 7, 1941. The ship was one of many casualties from the deadly attack by the Japanese on a quiet Sunday that President Franklin Roosevelt called “a date which will live in infamy.” The Arizona‘s burning bridge and listing mast and superstructure were photographed in the aftermath of the Japanese attack, and news of her sinking was emblazoned on the front page of newspapers across the land. The photograph symbolized the destruction of the United States Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor and the start of a war that was to take many thousands of American lives. Indelibly impressed into the national memory, the image could be recalled by most Americans when they heard the battle cry, “Remember Pearl Harbor.”
