Today's The Day

Once a year the guys in my family get together for our Christmas shopping trip. It's really more of an eating trip and if time permits we'll do some shopping. One of the reasons we go is we like to be together. It's a time of laughing and talking about past trips, like the time my brother-in-law took coupons to the dollar store.

Christmas is the time we celebrate the birth of Jesus but it's also a time of picking a date where most of the guys can hang out with each other for a day. The ladies are doing the same thing today.

My grandson, who is 7, is buying his mom a ring. His heart is set on it so we are gong to help him do that. Angie, my daughter, said she would wear it proudly even if it makes her finger turn green. This is what's going to make today so special for him. For me, it's watching him pick out the ring, hanging with the guys, laughing, talking, people watching, eating, and maybe do a little shopping.

Don't let the time get away from you before it's too late to "spend time with the guys".

Have a good day,

Pastor Gary
