Message from Albert



The presents have been wrapped (sort of), mince pies have been eaten (to excess) and every Frosty the Snowman viewed with contempt. Now all there is to do is relax, enjoy time with good friends and family and focus on why Christmas exists.

Happy, hope-filled Christmas friends!


"For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of his government and of peace
there will be no end,
on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
to establish it and to uphold it
with justice and with righteousness
from this time forth and forevermore.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this."

This is the birth announcement, as told by the prophet Isaiah, about 6-700 years in advance, of the King of Kings; the Christ of Christ-mas. This is where God and history meets.
Celebratory.
