Poem

Christmas by Kara (2001)

Christmas!

jingle bell time

time for presents and fun

friends and family visiting

snow falling and good cheer

crowded stores

Birthday.

Jesus

Immanuel

born in a stable

REAL meaning of Christmas

came to Earth to save us all

God with us

Savior.

Mary

mother of Jesus

obedient virgin

born of David’s line

Blessed.

Joseph

earthly father of Jesus

son of David

obedient husband

Nazarene.

Jesus

born to save us

bore our sins on the cross

rose from the dead

returned to Heaven

Love.

Christian zombie killers handbook

The Christian zombie killers handbook: slaying the living dead within by Jeff Kinley. I've had a hard time reading this book as zombie books just aren't my cup of tea but this is a different spin on the genre. This is a combination of fiction and non-fiction. You have a fiction story about zombies but in reality, it's about the sinful nature of man. There are chapters in the book that are specifically about religious stuff like faith, peer pressure, living for fleshly things vs Godly things, temptations, how to kill the zombie in you (salvation). Interspersed in the book are biblical references for the various topics discussed.
An example of the types of zombies that exist in the world: hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness and orgies... (pg.63/64) Galatians 5: 19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
This is a good book to counter all the blood and gore zombie books that teens like to read!

I got this book as part of the booksneeze.com book-review program

Bowling

MSU Dawgs are headed to Nashville to play Wake Forest in the Music City Bowl on Dec 30th. While I have mixed feelings about our deserving to go bowling, this is a good opportunity for our guys to represent Ms and make some improvements for next season. Go Dawgs!!
