With another Christmastime upon us, here's an article that will really get you thinking in a fresh way about the story at the root of it all. I first read this after last Christmas and enjoyed it so much I made a special effort to remember to share it this year!

Finally, on the Cybersalt site today, always looking for a way to legitimize his passion for apple fritters, Rev. James Snyder suggests they are healthier than a certain vegetable. You can read "Ha, Ha, I Knew I Was Right!" at:

Check the List
Planning a Christmas weekend of entertaining guests, I made a list of things I needed to do, including taking food out of the freezer and grocery shopping.
As it happened, a friend whom I had been promising to take to lunch asked if we could go for lunch that Friday.
So, hopping into the car, I taped my "to do" list to the dashboard and went to pick her up.
As she settled into the car, her face dropped.
"Thanks a lot!" she sulked.
Then I glanced at my list and saw the first item: "Take out the turkey."
