Oh look, Chicken Thursday - the last one before Christmas!

Yesterday was the shortest day of the year for us Northern Hemispherical types.  It's a fitting reminder that Christmas can be a very dim and dark time for many. If that rings true in your life this year Susan and I pray that the grace and peace of Jesus will flood and guard your heart - regardless of the reason. May God be merciful to all us sinners!

The newest Funny Christmas picture on the Cybersalt site is actually of Grandma Cybersalt's and my granddaughter Eleanor. This is her picture picture with Santa this year.  Needless to say, she wanted her mom - or was it something else she saw that was concerning her?

I normally let you know on Sundays when my sermons have been updated online, but since Christmas is but a few days away and Christmas sermons usually have a shelf life this time of year, you can find all my online Christmas sermons at:

Sunday greetings everyone.

What do you buy for the woman who already has the greatest gift? Rev. James Snyder is not the only man to struggle with that question. You can read about his quest in "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" at:

Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

Thank-you to everyone who is praying for Flower and helping her family. Flower is recovering from a fever which ended up in a trip to the doctor for a prescription.  She is having a follow-up visit today. It's a risk for her parents to go out on these outings because of the possibility of being picked up by the authorities. Updates about Flower and her family are posted at this link.

There is a new Christmas video in the FunBlog today. You might think some puppets singing the Christmas story to the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody would be kind of cheesy, but I think this is really well done! You can decide for yourself by watching "Bethlehem Rhapsody" at:

Sunday greetings everyone.

There is a new inspirational video on the Cybersalt site today. We should all strive to be as grateful as the little girl in "The Paperclip" at:

Also, Rev. James Snyder has figured out that part of being "merry" at Christmas is finding true rest. You can read "The Merrification of Christmas" at:

Finally, please pray to Jesus for healing for a little girl named "Flower". She and her family are Pakistani Christians who have fled for their lives to Thailand. You can watch a brief video telling more about their story and Flower's need at:
