Earlier Coral and I had a conversation about Christmas. A quick internet search would
find you that Christmas is a celebration of the birth of christ. That on this special
day a king of men was born and for this reason we worship and celebrate. This is what
I was told anyway.

Nowadays with a meager serving of life experience I think about things differently
than I used to. I take this time to reflect on the year that has just passed. Have I
taken care of myself? Lived up to my ideals insofar as I can? Have I treated others
with the care and respect of which I afford myself?

It is unfortunate that western culture requires this time of year be devoted to
things of an inferior nature. Not only are we not prompted to reflect on who we are by 
our culture, we are not afforded the time in between sales, football games, and the news
to do so.

It's time to take responsibility for ourselves.
