We're Putting Christ Front And Center In Our Christmas

I have a friend. 

Her Name is Lory.

We do lots of things together. 

I'm usually the instigator of the things that 

can potentially get us into trouble.

I taught her to drink margaritas on the train.

Lory instigates the kinds of things like

what we will be endeavoring to do here

for the month of December.

It started with an innocent enough comment from Lory, 

"I'm going to enjoy a Christ mass celebration this December."

What does that look like anymore?

Lory challenged me to really think about that. 

I tend to listen to Lory and then even 

think about what she says to me.

She's one of the few people that do that to me.

I decided that I would like to read 2 verses

a day from 3 different bible translations 

of the Christmas story from 

Matthew and Luke. 

Mike even made an Excel chart for me.

It works out perfectly to get you to December 24th. 

God does stuff like that. 

Whereas Lory challenged 

(perhaps unintentionally) 

me to get a concrete idea of how to put 

Christ back in my Christmas, 

I have challenged Lory to use her amazing

gift of the written word.

Lory and I will be doing the readings I've outlined

for the month together, she liked my idea :o).

We are going to take turns here 

writing about the verses we've read for that day. 

Wherever they may take us. 

It will be a fun challenge for us. 

You can come along for the ride if you like. 

I will try to load the Excel chart with the readings

onto the blog.

If you do come along, 

do us a favor and comment once in a while.

It's not as intimidating as it looks. 

You don't have to sign up, you can 

comment as anonymous. 

Or, if you get here via Facebook

you can comment on the link there. 

Let's see where we go!

Pretty sure we won't wind up in jail for this one......
