Here's a challenge:
Place 9 pigs in 4 pens . . . BUT . . .
there can only be an odd number of pigs in each pen!
First: you have to make the pigs! 
 


 
 


Then: you have to figure out how to get 9 pigs into 4 pens with an uneven number in each pen!
         



 


You've got to think "outside the pen"

–as soon as the Turkey is in the zip lock bags
shopping—shopping—shopping!
Oh Goody's has 40% off on their sweaters from 5 to 7 am!
We've let Advent become such a hectic
dash-through time of the year
Our individual worth is “I consume therefore I am”
But Christians we are not called to be a culture of consumers. We are a Communion of Conceivers.
Mary's Song
And Mary said:
"My soul glorifies the Lord
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
for the Mighty One has done great things for me--
holy is his name.
His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.
He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
he has scattered those who are proud in
their inmost thoughts.
He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.
He has filled the hungry with good things
but has sent the rich away empty.
He has helped his servant Israel ,
remembering to be merciful
to Abraham and his descendants forever,
even as he said to our fathers." Luke 1:44-55
Glad tidings of great joy—For UNTO YOU is born a Savior
. . . and. . .For INTO YOU is born a Savior
Christ is born in you . . .
when you conceive food at a soup kitchen for the homeless. Christ is born in you . . .
when you conceive mentoring in mathematics in some after school program. Christ is born in you . . .
when you conceive coaching a little-league team. Christ is born in you . . .
when you conceive love by emailing someone expressions of care and concern when it's not their birthday. Christ is born in you . . .
when you conceive a smile at someone who has darted ahead of you in line. Christ is born again . . . born in you . . . when you . . .
Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple
and that God's Spirit lives in you?
1 Corinthians 3:16
