Charlie's Xmas card

I'm thankful for ...

Today is the day the
Holidays begin
And soon we'll be singing
Noel again.
Know this -
Santa brings toys, but
God's gift, Christ
Incarnate, brings joys.
Visions of shepherds, angel chorus,
Incense, gold, myrrh -
Nativity, glad tidings of a birth!
Gaude, gaude!Emmanuel Nascetur pro te, Israel!

Life is ...

Life is good. Here's why:

1. I have two jobs and can pay bills
2. I have jobs that I enjoy
3. I have a weekend (it runs Sunday to Monday)
4. My computer works (this is a blessing that seems to be quickly fading - darn technology)
5. I have roommates that are neither perpetually drunk, nor watching sports, nor crazier than I
6. I have car insurance (though no health insurance, yet)
7. I have a church that I adore, even with her wrinkles
8. I have some great girlfriends who love me
9. I still love reading - my only hobby that has continually lasted from childhood through adulthood
10. People trust me to cater their weddings - what a huge responsibility, but such fun!
