The Answer is a Child:

 
SOMETHING 
TO THINK ABOUT
Alex, C. J., & McGuire are ready to play their roles in the Live Nativity.  CBC is preparing them to be World-changers!
The news is full of political conflict.  The Democrat leadership in the Senate, butting heads with the Republican forces in the House has become daily news.  Add to that threatened vetoes and the periodic racket various special interests make, throw in some international posturing for good measure, and we have quite a spectacle.  What ought to really concern us, however, is what has become all too mundane in the seats of power.  Granted the scandalous does serve to give us a magnified view of what goes on everyday, but too often the titillating headlines divert our attention from--even make us calloused to--the day by day operation of government, which far too often would be seen as scandalous, if we weren't so used to it.  On a human level, I recommend integrity over over charm, and honesty over image, but looking higher, I am reminded of a promise that came to ancient Judah, at a time of corruption in the seat of power. 
". . . a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace. . . .
[He will] uphold it with justice and righteousness. . . ." (Isaiah 9:6-7, NASB95)
Ultimately the answer is a child!

With a wish for the best of Christmases,

This will be my first Christmas without my mom.  Mom made hundreds of  little angels, like the one on the left.  They are literally around the world.  I don't have any handwork for you, but on our website, covingtonbblechurch.com, you can find recordings of messages, including some recent messages on thanksgiving, and there is a lot of information about the One Who came to earth to be our Savior,covingtonbiblechurch.com.  Click on "Life's most important question."
