It's that wonderful time of the year again. My, how 2008 has gone by quickly! We've had some historical events in the making: Alaska's Governor Sarah Palin as the first Republican female nominee for Vice President, Delaware Senator Joseph Biden being the first Delaware Senator elected to the second highest office of Vice President, Republican Senator John McCain being the oldest candidate for President, and finally, the election of the first Half African American President Barack Obama.
It is easy to take our freedom for granted, so we must remember the roots for our freedom: the birth of Our Savior Jesus Christ. If it weren't for the birth and death of Jesus Christ, we would not have the United States Of America as we know it. Had Jesus Christ not been born, we might still have a land, but it would be a land filled with tyranny and chaos. Mankind would be a civilization of lost souls, destined for destruction, based on mankind's track record of the lust for power and dominance. When you look at the societies which do not look to Jesus Christ and God for guidance, you will see the society become tyrannical sooner or later. Man has the propensity to sin in his nature, due to Adam and his wife rebelling in the Garden of Eden.
With the birth and death of Jesus Christ, we received the best gift of all to mankind: God's good will toward mankind, and his gift of eternal life. I will have more to follow, as the days progress. Merry Christmas my readers!
