Been busy lately, what with work and looking for work in Austin.

Right now I’m in the middle of a five-night stretch, and I’m about to go to bed for the day. But I’ll be back soon…

Christ is Risen!

Let no one fear death, for the Saviour’s death has set us free.

He that was taken by death has annihilated it!

He descended into Hades and took Hades captive!

He embittered it when it tasted his flesh!

And anticipating this Isaiah exclaimed: “Hades was embittered

when it encountered thee in the lower regions”.

It was embittered, for it was abolished!

It was embittered, for it was mocked!

It was embittered, for it was purged!

It was embittered, for it was despoiled!

It was embittered, for it was bound in chains!

It took a body and came upon God!

It took earth and encountered heaven!

It took what it saw but crumbled before what it had not seen!

O death, where is thy sting? O Hades, where is thy victory?

Christ is risen, and you are overthrown!

Christ is risen, and the demons are fallen!

Christ is risen, and the angels rejoice!

Christ is risen, and life reigns!

Christ is risen, and not one dead remains in a tomb!

For Christ, being raised from the dead,

has become the first-fruits of them that slept.

To him be glory and might unto ages of ages.

Amen.

It just has. For those who do celebrate Holy Nativity (Christmas) as a religious holiday, we have an understanding of this day that is TOTALLY different from people around us who just celebrate “Christmas”. It’s so much more than buying and wrapping stuff. It’s so much more, even, than generosity and good will. It’s radical, universe-changing stuff that we are acknowledging, whether we celebrate the Nativity on December 25th or at any other time.

Making sure that a Jewish, Messianic, Muslim, or Hindu person knows that I don’t acknowledge their celebration and that I only want to hear about my holiday, say, in a store that is solely interested in benefiting monetarily from this holy day…well, it kinda seems like missing the point.
