Seems like with each snowfall we relax a bit more. We’re more considerate of those around us, we’re friendlier, more compassionate. As Christmas draws nigh we seem to become more patient. We see strangers talking to each other and smiling while they wait in check-out lines. We laugh more, we’re more polite and respectful when speaking with others. For some reason we become more humane. Despite tired old carols playing endlessly everywhere we go, despite busy malls and traffic, lists and shopping, icy streets and cold temperatures, kindnesses to each other are evident everywhere we look.Do you like it? I do. How long into the new year could we prolong this Spirit of Christmas?Shall we give it a try?Just for fun? Wishing you the very best Christmas,a wonderful New Year,happiness and prosperity in 2009." Postscript to my article:

It is a curious thing...we seem to work so hard for so many years at creating Magazine World Christmas and yet reality lurks like a bad headache. And when Magazine World and reality mix, it does not make for a great party, as we try so hard to just get along for at least one day a year. Think I'll drink to that, or maybe take the drug suggested in your October article! Hi Kathy,

Even the right leaning evangelicals finally bow under pressure and put it back on the shelf — but that’s still not enough to silence the fundamentalists.

Apparently one can never WORK too hard to be, “Righteous…”

By way of explanation: I was thinking that since things are tightly-controlled in China, reading a Bible in the open might be dangerous but reading "fiction" might not. Yes, it's unlikely that it will ever make a required reading list for Bible School/Seminary students [but maybe it should]. The quotes I posted from the books were quotes that resonated with me and have either felt in the past and/or believe now - especially the passages on forgiveness. Hey Perry thanks for your comments.
