Saturday Afternoon

So this year Christmas falls on a Monday. That was quite obvious if, like me, you worked on Friday and had to drive home. 33 miles in 3 hours is not the longest time I've ever taken, but it was getting close.

For those who consider Christmas a holy day, it will make Sunday rather interesting. There was much discussion last year about "having church" on Sunday/Christmas. Well, that 7-year discussion is over, now how about this year?

From what I'm seeing, you can get to church in the morning, like usual, and most churches are having their traditional Christmas eve services just a few hours later! So if you've not a church goer, you've got a whole TON of times that you can head out to church on Sunday -- whatever time fits in your schedule.

And if you've never been and you're anywhere near Mooresville, NC, just drop me a line -- we'd love to have you join us at our church -- at any of the services.

1 My family will be doing Church on both Christmas Eve, which is a SUNDAY and a regular day of worship, and Christmas Day. I never understood why people wouldn't do Church when Christmas was on a Sunday, but we had some Protestant Churches in town last year that did NOT have Sunday services because... it was Christmas. I definitely did a big *blink* on that one.

2 That was weird last year. I think it's neat this year that there's services practically all day Sunday if you want them!

3 Well, our church (protestant) DOES have services on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, no matter what day of the week. God Bless you this season my friend.

My longest commute was in a dusting of snow. Two hours to go five miles! Ah, the Washington suburbs!

6 My longest commute was in clear weather. When two tractor-trailers crashed on the interstate.

7 Last I looked, Dude, it was YOUR Ripofflican Kongress awarding the big contracts to Halliburton. Next the 80 billion that disappeared to "reconstruct" Iraq, well 2 billion is pocket change I guess.

So it's okay with you for Bu$$$H, Cheney, et al to stack the court with anti-middleclass judges (no Virginia, it really is NOT about abortion after all) and send all our jobs out to sees and to have nurses and truckdrivers in higher tax brackets than billionaires. That's cool with you, huh? Well, you deserve what they're leaving you - an empty shell of our former great country and it's engine of progress with a healthy middleclass and good paying jobs for regular people. This isn't the "liberals" dude, this is what you get for voting emotionally.

As for joining you at church, no thanks. You just don't sound all that Christian to me. And shame on you.

8 Janette? I think you've got me VERY confused with someone else. Nothing you have written has anything to do with me or my positions, on well, almost anything. And I explicitly rallied AGAINST the increased spending by Congress.
