Christmas '11

I doubt there is anything new I can post about Christmas. I mean, I usually cover the basics - that Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who came down from heaven, taking the form of man, to (eventually) die in our place, shedding His blood to cover each and every one of our sins, as the ultimate sacrifice, and then rising from the gave, conquering death itself, so that we (everyone throughout the history of the entire world) would be able to stand in the very presence of God throughout eternity.

What else is there, really?

Merry Christmas!

Something is Up

...but I do not know what. I can feel it; I can "see" it. But exactly what "it" is, I cannot say. All I do know is that several of my friends are...apparently going through some things. Not sure how else to put it. Many who would normally be very quick to respond to me have gone...silent. One in particular does "like" to hide, from time-to-time, and has apparently done so (again), but this feels...different. Another, who I know has been dealing with some personal stuff, has also gone...silent. She normally doesn't "hide", but she has not been as "visible" as she normally is - and I've had no response to a message I sent some time ago, now; and that's uncharacteristic of her.

Maybe it's nothing. Maybe it's just my imagination. Maybe I'm 'reflecting' my own insecurities on to others. Maybe it's just me. But I have heard others say they, too, have felt that something is "up" or felt that a change of some kind was coming - whether for good or ill, is unknown.

In any event, I'm not sure what, if anything, I can do.
