An Occassional Glimpse Into My Life

Well, as I expected, it was a great afternoon. As predicted The AirForce Band of the West Christmas In Blue program began with the herald trumpets featured on the Star Spangled Banner and ended with the herald trumpets and Oh Come All Ye Faithful. Really put me in the Christmas spirit.

Only distraction was a young lady behind us who periodically began speaking in Latin and going into some dialogue about how the Lord Jesus Christ says repent of your sins. Happened several times. Not sure what was up. I told Mom, maybe we should not judge too quick as it might have been God inspired. Never know. It was strange. Seemed everytime it got quiet she would tune up. The two ladies she was with refused to take her out.

I sat listening to many of the standard Christmas songs, Silent Night, Away in a Manger, Joy To The World. The MC, Nancy Gonzalez from KSAT, openly said that Christmas is the celebration of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. The singers sang about the baby Jesus and we were wished a Merry Christmas, not Happy Holidays. I thought this was not politically correct anymore. This was a group representing the Federal Government. Paid by tax dollars. Wow, how refreshing to know that Christ still is considered by our men and women in Blue to be the center of Christmas. So what gives with all the judges that say you cannot display the Ten Commandments and a manger scene is not appropriate in front of a county courthouse. Let the people who put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms to display the Ten Commandments and have a manger scene in front of the county courthouse decide the laws of the land. We would be much better off.

Till then
Merry Christmas not Happy Holidays
