HOT SAUCE & MERRY CHRISTMAS

I've been meaning to blog about a topic inspired by a friend... but in the spirit of Christmas it will have to wait. Tonight I went to a Christmas party and fun it was. Besides the good food and wonderful treats... the activity of the night was the exhange of a "White Elephant" gift.

I was number 15 in the picking order... and the cute little green baggie I picked was filled with Taco Bell hot sauce. I couldn't "squeeze" a confession out of anyone on who was the giver but the laugh was medicine.
Other gifts of the evening included: A bowling ball, a bag of bar soap, a book on tape (you can ask Tennille about that), a prized Texas beltbuckle, and an exercise video.

Now I am at home... reflecting on Christmas and parties... thinking about Jesus. I am wondering about what kind of party Jesus would plan. Does that sound bad? I hope not. However it is quite possible that the usage of "party" will fail to describe the times of fun planned for in heaven. What will an evening get-together be like at someones mansion? Of course the Bible gives a glimpse of the times of corporate worship - those I can see as being the highlight. Maybe it's easy to slip into not thinking how personable we will be. As beautiful as it will be to stand with the unnumbered multitude, I'm picturing the pleasure of small circles of people having fun. Merry Christmas!
