"And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made." The Holy Trinity grant us all repentance, and grant us His pure, hopefilled, Christ-Crucified-filled Word, in place of the sound of silence.

Sing the hymns of the Faith to your children from the cradle! Pray the Our Father "over" them. Confess the Creed in their ears. And treat them as the holy stewardship they are from their True Father in heaven.

Dear Lord Jesus, our God, grant all zygotes, embryos, all children, all youth, the Infinite blessing of forgiveness and formation in Trust in You and Your Sacrifice in the Cross. And give all fathers and mothers Peace and faithfulness in Loving their children in this Way.

Sundown was 5 minutes ago. It is officially Christmas. (The day begins at sunset, y'know. At least, the Jewish day and the Christian liturgical day.)

Therefore, blessed and joyful Christmas to you all. "The Word becomes incarnate and yet remains on high. And cherubim sing anthems to shepherds from the sky. Proclaim the Savior's birth: To God on High be glory And peace to all the earth!"

What joy to know when life is past
The Lord we love is First and Last,
The End and the Beginning!
He will Someday, Oh, glorious grace!
Transport us to that happy place
Beyond all tears and sinning.
Amen! Amen!
Come, Lord Jesus,
Crown of gladness!
We are yearning
For the Day of Your Returning!

The one thing this is missing is Christ crucified. Our Father created us to grow in faith/trust in Him--in this sin-cursed age-- in Christ.
