Merry Christmas!!
O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, o night when Christ was born;
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With all our hearts we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.

O night divine, o night when Christ was born;
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With all our hearts we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!

Sometimes...
...I wish I was good instead of what I am. Nice and kind and sweet. Some people might think that is me. But I have them fooled. Because I am rude and angry and selfish. Mean and ugly and lazy. Spiteful. Bitter. Hateful. A user. An abuser. Nothing good in me. I only pretend to be good and it usually doesn't last long. What I am so naturally, so effortlessly is wretched and horrible. If you knew me, you would know that I am telling the truth. You would know I'm not depressed or down. You would know me for who I am. That I am not good. Although, I do try to be good. And even wish I was good. Sometimes.

DENVER (AP) - Health officials are looking for Colorado residents who may have traveled on a bus with a man who has tuberculosis.
The man was recently diagnosed with TB in New Mexico. On August 3rd, he rode on a bus that left El Paso, Texas, in the morning and arrived in Greeley in the evening, boarding in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He returned to Albuquerque on the same bus line -- El Paso-Los Angeles Limousine Express -- on August 9th.
On both trips, the bus made stops in Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Denver.
Health officials in Colorado, New Mexico and Texas are looking for people who traveled any length of the El Paso-Greeley route so they can be tested to see if they were infected with TB.
Colorado health department spokesman Mark Salley says the state set up a toll-free phone line yesterday (Wednesday) to reach out to anyone who was on either of those bus trips. So far, only one person who thought they may have had a relative who was on one of the buses has called.
Colorado residents who think they may have been on the same bus as the tuberculosis patient are asked to call the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment at 888-356-0332.

"By Your Side" -- Tenth Avenue North
Why are you striving these days
Why are you trying to earn grace
Why are you crying
Let me lift up your face
Just don't turn away
Why are you trying to earn grace
Why are you crying
Let me lift up your face
Just don't turn away
Why are you looking for love
Why are you still searching as if I'm not enough
To where will you go child
Tell me where will you run
To where will you run
Why are you still searching as if I'm not enough
To where will you go child
Tell me where will you run
To where will you run
And I'll be by your side
Wherever you fall
In the dead of night
Whenever you call
And please don't fight
These hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you
Wherever you fall
In the dead of night
Whenever you call
And please don't fight
These hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you
Look at these hands and my side
They swallowed the grave on that night
When I drank the world's sin
So I could carry you in
And give you life
I want to give you life
They swallowed the grave on that night
When I drank the world's sin
So I could carry you in
And give you life
I want to give you life
Cause I, I love you
I want you to know
That I, I love you
I'll never let you go
I want you to know
That I, I love you
I'll never let you go
And I'll be by your side
Wherever you fall
In the dead of night
Whenever you call
And please don't fight
These hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you
Wherever you fall
In the dead of night
Whenever you call
And please don't fight
These hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you
