CHRISTMAS...It's Complicated and it's Wonderful
In Him was life and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it. (Jn. 1:4-5 NIV)

God sent His son into the world to become the center of my life the center of your life.
When Jesus becomes the center of our life it centers our life and stabilizes our present as well as secures our future.

No matter how dark it may get as we see the issues of life magnified at Christmas we also see the Light of the World the Hope of humanity clothed in flesh!
