As I write, the big news in the United States is a school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, a great tragedy. If it hadn't been for that, it would have been the inability of President Obama and the Republicans of the House of Representatives to reach some settlement, so as to avoid the "fiscal cliff," which will increase taxes on most of us, and cut parts of some government spending drastically and suddenly.
But these events, or whatever events will soon take their place, pale into insignificance beside the birth of Christ, God Himself, come to earth to live, die, and be resurrected as the perfect sacrifice for our sin. Here's a 5 minute, 37 second video, of a flash mob of excellent singers, presenting that Good News in a California mall in 2010. If you have never seen this, you should. If you have seen it, you should see it again!
Thanks for reading. Please watch.
Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).
God speaks to us through the Bible and the findings of science, and we should listen to both types of revelation.
The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because is public domain. I am grateful.
