'T'was the night before Christmas
and all through the town
Not a sign of Baby Jesus
was anywhere to be found.
The people were all busy
with Christmas time chores
Like decorating, and baking,
and shopping in stores.
"Because it is short, life is packed with challenging possibilities. Because it is uncertain, it's filled with challenging adjustments. I'm convinced that's much of what Jesus meant when he promised us an abundant life. Abundant with challenges, running over with possibilities, filled with opportunities to adapt, shift, alter, and change. Come to think of it, that's the secret of staying young. It is also the path that leads to optimism and motivation."

A young girl sat on his lap and the usual conversation transpired, until finally he asked her what she would like from Santa.
"Oh! I don't want anything for myself, I just want something for mommy."
"And what would that be?"
"I want a new boyfriend for her. The one she has now is ROTTEN!"
