MY CHRISTMAS GIFT TO YOU

I just finished this song, and I believe over the holidays its message is extremely important. So amid all the chaos, remember there will come a day you'd do anything to relive just a minute of it.

Every moment you have is a gift, you didn't earn it. You're not promised tomorrow, so treasure today...

TIE A BOW ON IT

“Follow your dream” that’s what all the poets say
But my dreams were all for things that fade away
Dreaming is fine, till you wake up
To find you lost the things you had
And realize they weren’t so bad

This is the lesson I’ve been taught
Live for the things that you have got

So when you know the moment will soon be past
So it will last, tie a bow on it
And make it fast

And when a song in the air gives your heart a lift
Quick while you can, tie a bow on it
Before the notes can drift
Cause it’s a gift

Ev’ry year round the table we see a face
Of someone we love whose presence we can’t replace
Then one by one each face is gone
All the things you wished you’d said
Are now only regrets instead

This is the lesson I have learned
These are the gifts you won’t return
Some chances missed will not return

So while the smiles of family and friends are near
While they’re still here, tie a bow on them
And hold them dear

And if you’ve taken for granted what’s in your hand
Quick while you can, tie a bow on it...

For each seasons changes, nothing stays the same
The blessings you hold, though treasured like gold,
Will not remain

So now in this moment, don’t miss what you’ve got
You’ve got your chance now, but tomorrow may not

While there’s still time, for this moment will soon be past
So it will last, tie a bow on it
And make it fast

And when that song in the air gives your heart a lift
While you still can, tie a bow on it
Before the notes can drift
Round your every breath, tie a bow on it
Cause it’s a gift

Thoughts on Good Friday for a world that appears to be burning down...

"A new roster of moral values have crowded Christian virtues to the periphery. Worshipping creation has replaced worshipping the Creator. People have elevated the worth of animals while continually devaluing human life created in the image of God.

Likewise, the Church has struggled to have its voice heard in the marketplace of ideas. Covid forced people prioritize what really mattered in their lives, and one priority that slipped to the bottom of the list was church attendance. Where for years people continued to tip their hats to the importance of faith, the pandemic finally gave them the excuse to stay home they had always been looking for.

The world, and its values, are upside down. Christianity, like Notre Dame, appears to be burning down..."

As we all watched the news of Notre Dame Cathedral burning on April 15, 2019, many saw it as a symbol of the demise of Christianity in our modern culture.  A new roster of moral values have cr…
