Welcome to REV'D

As I sat patiently watching a train pass I noticed that the majority of the cars had been “tagged” with graffiti. I began wondering why we humans feel so strongly that we must leave our mark on this world. What I came up with is it is because we need to let people know we were here.

Walking through a grave yard I noticed the dates on a tombstone; 1927-1990. For many the mark we leave is the dash between two dates.

Maybe that is what this blog is about . . . leaving my mark somehow.

The Best Christmas Gift

Christmas gifts are wonderful. One of the most memorable Christmas’ I ever had was a few years ago when I was still in college and my daughter and son-in-law were between pastoral assignments and had moved in with us. None of us had money to buy Christmas gifts so my wife suggested we give virtual gifts.

That year we exchanged pictures of the gifts we would like to have given if we had the money. We all got some great gifts that year. Maybe the greatest gift was the realization that we loved each other and were fortunate we were together that year.

God gave the gift of His Son. Many times we forget the real reason for the season. This year take time during your Christmas gift giving to thank God for His gift of His Son.
