“Are you ready for Christmas?”
That was the question I was asked most over the previous couple of weeks.
The question reveals our culture’s perspectives of the Christmas season – that everything in this season builds up to a climax which is reached Christmas morning.
For many people, that’s the end of the story. After Christmas morning, they’re ready to pass out from exhaustion, sleep for a week, and move on to the next thing.
A New Chapter
For Christians, Christmas morning isn’t the end of the story. It’s the start of a new chapter.
It’s the day the Light of the world entered our darkness.
It’s the day the Liberator began to free all those enslaved by sin.
It’s the day the King returned to reclaim his kingdom.
And so, on the (days and) night(s) AFTER Christmas…
When your Christmas celebration is over…
When you are ready to continue the work that Jesus began in a humble stable in Bethlehem – bringing light to a dark world, proclaiming forgiveness through our savior, and advancing the kingdom of God…
We will be here to help you live out your mission online in 2024 and beyond.
That it shall not be just a day, But last a lifetime through, The miracle of Christmastime That brings God close to you. -Ann Schultz

It’s the day the Light of the world entered our darkness.
I’ve been browsing online more than 4 hours today, yet
I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough
for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be a
lot more useful than ever before.
Good article. I will be going through some of these issues
as well..
Hi, I check your blog regularly. Your writing style is witty, keep doing what you’re doing!
It is the best time to make some plans for the future and it is time
to be happy. I’ve learn this submit and if I may just I wish to counsel you few interesting issues or tips.
Perhaps you could write next articles referring to this article.
I desire to learn even more issues about it!
Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything.
Do you have any helpful hints for first-time blog writers?
I’d genuinely appreciate it.
Good day, I make it a habit to read your blog. Keep doing what you’re doing since your writing style is quite enjoyable to read.
