When Christmas is near it is time for this song to be heard by all whether they are Christians or not. So beautiful and so beautifully done. The story as it should be told.

Gives a girl goosebumps.
Found my self singing along 1/2 way through.
Johnny's (Johnny Cash) Jesus was a carpenter was below her . Had to play that one also.
Why are we hearing on the news Barack Obama planning sanctions against Israel?
I don't remember another plane being shot down?

This one has become my favorite about Christmas and I will hear it many more times before Christmas gets here. Such a beautiful story told so wonderfully.

Did you hear about the anti Islamic protests in Germany? There is a you tube video t***slated. Apparently Christmas decorations are banned in public areas. And there is talk of Christmas trees seen through windows as offensive to Muslims.
For clinging to these traditions they are being labeled r****t and xenophobic.
Their protests are peaceful like the tea party here in the USA. Lots of f**gs they thanked the police. They called on their government to stop cutting the police. They are an anti f*****t party.
There spokesperson is being hammered in the media for something he did 20 years ago
Any how Christians and Christmas are under attack on at least 4 continents now. Africa Europe North and South America.
The government is calling for counter protests rallies and marches.

The song sung by Ms. Rinderer tells the answer about how we need to deal with those who want to do away with Christmas. I am sure there are enough of us to hurt those people who don't all Merry Christmas or other signs of Christmas in their store. If we all walked on by them they would feel the pinch in their pockets.

Well, then I am doing part.
I do not want to encourage businesses who are apt to hinder or harm our constitutional rights. It would be as though I was encouraging them to abandon my own country.
I too feel pained over the Merry Christmas and lack thereof. That is when Target lost me . for me when you demand your employees (some of whom are Christian ) say Happy Holidays. You again violate the U.S. constitutional rights freedom of speech freedom of religion. Why would you want so much control over a persons heart and mind that they are not allowed to return a well wishes for the Holly days or Christ's Mass ..
It's so awkward . I felt I might be entrapping someone by saying Merry Christmas if I said it and they respond in kind have I helped someone lose favor with their boss or even helped them lose their job.

Disney lost us this year with omitting Christmas from the billboard.

Star bucks no more hot cocoa's for me or the kiddo in the mall...
Need a new brand of dark French roast coffee for my husband nothing is coming close yet. He nixed Starbucks over the
Gun/ conceal carry ban.

I really hope Kroger doesn't decide to do this, gun ban .

Well I find myself in agreement with you. No more of my money is going to people who poke fingers in the eyes of America.

Those who don't say Merry Christmas can't have any of my money from last year on. If they don't like to hear "Where's the Line to See Jesus" they may as well close their empty hands before I tell them to.

As for Target, my wife loves the place but not their Christmas business and our foster daughter who worked for Target for years and got fired by them because she tried to turn in some people for how they were acting convinced me that Target isn't for me. She spent three whole hitches in the Mid East with the Kansas National Guard and was treated like dirt when she came back to the same store she had been in for years. She is making better money now than she would there but not nearly as much as she did when in Kuwait and Afghanistan. She is still a Master Sergeant but not drawing daily pay either.

where's the line for Jesus?

I h**e hearing how our vets are mistreated upon returning home. Whether at a place of employment or the VA . ughh the VA
The sacrifice they make the losses they carry with them every day .
These are no ordinary people . they come home and soldier up again and again each day . they resume life and duties with complete knowledge of the price others paid.
Take care of her. She must be discouraged.
Know in your heart , I and many like me appreciate what she did, and what her family you and yours endured while she was away.
It's not the presents, at Christmas, it is his presence. Keep praying for all our boys and girls wherever they are Afghanistan Iraq Africa outside an embassy at sea in a sub wherever they are Lord keep them safe and bring them home here to your country lord God Bless the USA.

And for my husband's sake if you know anyone who knows of good strong French vanilla roast coffee bean other than Starbucks let me know. I am tired of telling the Boston tea party story and the sugar story.

That foster daughter is nearly 51 and has a son who is 14 and her life since he is such a good athlete. She was an outstanding athlete and knew when she got out of college and went on the college coaching staff that she would be a good non-com. She faced up to men on the track team just as to the women she was the coach of. She is very tough and nearly got in severe trouble in Kuwait because she was in charge of procuring food for a mess hall that fed about 5000 meals each meal period. She caught some of the officers above her doing some very dishonest things and turned them. She almost didn't get the Army on their butts soon enough as they were going to take her out.

Powerful testimony,
She must have a relationship with Jesus because justice is so strong in her.
Doing the right thing with out thought of gain or loss is hard. It often comes down to trusting him .

I don't know if you have ever heard the song called the voice of t***h by casting crowns .
one of thy favorites.
It takes that kind of courage to be witness to stand for those she took responsibility for the 5000.
To stand.
She couldn't have been alone
thank you for sharing that with me.
these kinds of testimonies are the ones that give us hope.

part of the lyrics
Oh what I would do to have the kind of faith that it takes to stand before a giant with just a sling and a stone.
