After a somber season in the aftermath of my recent tractor
accident and a 32-day stint with bronchitis and pneumonia, our family is now
healthy and everyone seems happy. My beautiful and talented wife is working a
full time job, carrying a full college load at night with academic honors,
singing at church regularly and supporting everything spinning in my
orbit. Our oldest four are pursuing
their careers and/or building families while our youngest two are pushing
through college with graduation in their grasps. Since we seem to be addicted to tuition - my
sights are now set on seminary. We are indeed blessed! Life is good in Cornerstone Nation.
But none of these temporal blessings compare with the
ultimate blessing of the Reason for the season.
The Christmas story is about a baby who came to earth to become like man
so that we could become like God. We use
the term, "God in the Bod," in painting a poignant word picture for
our teenagers in explaining this miraculous event. And we illustrate the concept for our
children by sharing that our sin nature creates a gulf between God and
Man. Jesus came to earth to become our
bridge to God.
If you have been thinking more about The Reason for the
Season this year and would like to know how to cross that bridge to God, please
call us at 512.568.2420 for more details. We'd be happy to share this ultimate
blessing with you and yours.

Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year!
May The Reason for the Season wrap you in His loving arms
and hold you close this Christmas season and in the years to come until His
inevitable, glorious and triumphant return. Shalom!
