ETPR THOUGHTS
Let this reminder serve as a heads-up to all of our regular readers out there. ETPR will be taking some time off for the holiday season. Regular output will resume after the first of the year.
In case ANYONE was wondering…
It is not like our schedule is so back-breaking that we have to take a time-out from the action.
However, time off for the holidays is an expected thing.
Besides, the time between Christmas and New Year’s Day is usually filled with media-generated ‘retrospectives’ and one more or less would hardly be noticed by readers.
A FEW THOUGHTS ON CHRISTMAS
The day before Christmas is, MANY TIMES, filled with various ponderings and other types of pensive recollections. And so we find ourselves writing a bit about Christmas 2023.
Christmas time is the one time of the year when the WORLD (and those who dwell in it) PRETEND to love Jesus. It is speculated that this pretending will NOT continue on for very much longer. When there is something to be gained from such pretensions, then they will be common.
BUT, when those actions no longer matter so much, they will fall by the wayside.
Let this short piece serve as a REMINDER that the time of the world pretending that Jesus matters to it is NEARLY over.
Believers can enjoy this time–or not, depending on one’s outlook.
MERRY CHRISTMAS 2023.
