Sure, you constantly hear people say "Jesus is the reason for the season," and see plenty of church signs with the same statement, but is that really at the forefront of our minds this time of year. I admit I haven't spent as much time focused on Christ or in the celebration of His birth as I should. It's so easy to get caught up in earthly celebrations of gifts, food, and even that of family. Not that there's anything wrong with celebrating family (or food, or how blessed we are to be able to give and receive gifts), but let us not forget what it's all about. Celebrate and have joy in our Savior!
Tomorrow I will be leaving for Ocala to go to Holiday Youth Convention. I made a sort-of last minute decision to go; I'm getting to old for it and I figured if I didn't go this year, I would definitely feel too old to go next year—not that there won't be other older than I there, there definitely will be.
I'm bringing my laptop along in hopes that there will be free wireless in the hotel, but with the expectation that I won't have much time to use it anyway.
