Hermann Hearsay learned today that A. A. Newman achieved a 4.0 GPA during his first semester at Mizzou.  A. A. is majoring in nuclear physics and minoring in quantum mechanics.  He is the son of A. E. Newman of Bland, MO, who is a candidate for Southern District Associate Commissioner of Gasconade County in the 2012 election.  A. E. Newman remarked ... "I am very proud of my son!  He's always been a good boy!  He has never been a bully, and he has never intimidated women entering the Gasconade County Fairgrounds or innocent people attending public meetings.  He has never called anyone a four-letter or eight-letter derogatory term during a county commission meeting!"

Bible Verse Of The Day - Tuesday, 12/21/2010

“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.” – Micah 5:2

We find a pattern with the Scriptures: Abraham was called out of his established place in his father’s household to become a nomad. Once he was outside known territory, God could use him. Moses was required to live in the desert for 40 years before he could lead the Jewish people out of Egypt. It seems that God loves to take mighty things and make them smaller in order to confound the world and it’s wisdom. Bethlehem was a border town with the Gentiles. It was considered unclean and totally out of touch with the rest of the Jewish realm. Yet it was Bethlehem that God chose to birth the Savior of mankind, Jesus Christ. Do you feel that God is whittling you down? Rejoice, he’s getting ready to use you in a great way! Do you see yourself on the margins and insignificant? Congratulations! You’re positioned to do great things for God. He has a record of taking weak and foolish things to confound the strong and wise.

"Miracles: The Holiday Album" is the first holiday album by saxophonist Kenny G. It was released by Arista Records in 1994, and peaked at number 1 on the Billboard 200, Contemporary Jazz Albums and R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. According to Billboard magazine, dated October 31, 2007, it is the best-selling Christmas album of the Soundscan era.

"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" is a Christmas song introduced by Judy Garland in the 1944 MGM musical "Meet Me in St. Louis". Frank Sinatra later recorded a version with modified lyrics, which has become more common than the original. The song was credited to Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane, although during a December 21, 2006 NPR interview, Martin said that Blane had encouraged him to write the song but had not had anything more to do with writing it. In 2007, ASCAP ranked "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" the third most performed Christmas song written by ASCAP members of the past five years.

Here is Kenny G playing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" .....

"Ghost of the Future, I fear you more than any spectre I have seen. But as I know your purpose is to do me good, and as I hope to live to be another man from what I was, I am prepared to bear you company, and do it with a thankful heart. Will you not speak to me?"  ~ Ebeneezer Scrooge, from 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens

But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. – Luke 1:30-31

Mary was an amazing woman. Think of the situation: a 13 – 15 year old virgin is told that she has favor with God. Favor? She will be pregnant and have to convince her fiancée that she was not unfaithful. She will have to endure the gossip that will follow her for the rest of her life concerning the birth of her son and the timing of her wedding to Joseph. In the culture of her day, unwed mothers were quietly “put away” (see Matthew 1:18-19). Yet God DOES give Mary favor: He reveals to her the unique role that she plays in God’s purposes. And she embraces that role, even though it will come a great personal cost. We want God to fit into our story, yet Christmas is a reminder that our story is never really understood until it’s seen in the light of God’s story. Joy to the world, the Lord is come. Let earth receive her King!
