Sunday greetings, everyone!

We're into the shortest days and darkest and rainiest nights of the year here at Cybersalt World Headquarters. But in 11 days we will have the "shortest" day and from there we can start our slow rush back to the longest day on June 21. So hang in there all you northern hemispherers!

Today's video share is a real tear jerker. Remember, I warned you!

If you are wondering what a Goober is, there is a picture of one here:

Two goobers went deep into the woods searching for a Christmas tree.

After hours of subzero temperatures and a few close calls with hungry wolves, one goober turned to the other and said,

"I'm chopping down the next tree I see. I don't care whether it's decorated or not!"

December weather is more confusing than trying to untangle rainbow Christmas lights.

Featured Illustrations are items well suited for illustrating or inspiring a point in a sermon, speech, or devotional. Funny, moving, or perhaps even graphic, the point of them is the point you make with them.

Rev. James Snyder, God's Penman, writes . . . . 

Nothing is more confusing than being in the middle of two holidays. I have just finished Thanksgiving, and now Christmas is before me. Each year, it gets more difficult to adjust to the next holiday. It’s hard for me to keep up.
