A Thrill of Hope

Merry Christmas, 2011

I would like to wish all my friends and enemies, my family members and fellow neighbors, as well as all my Silent Knights and fellow patriots of the United States of America, the Nation of Israel, and all who will read this article,
a Merry Christmas under the righteous Loving hand of the one true God.

We are fortunate that we can live in a nation that has a primary root in Judeo-Christian values, thus giving the people an opportunity to experience a holy day, such as December 25th. Our outstanding troops that serve worldwide have made abundant sacrifices so we can experience the warmth of the Christmas Season. There are over a hundred countries, nations, and regions around the world where it is a crime to celebrate Christmas. I thank our Marines, military, and other service men and women who fight so we can have freedom.

We live in a dangerous era, where evil has spawned threats that attack the true meaning of Christmas. When the evils that prevent the people from conserving to a righteous history flood our moral standards, we become lost in hopelessness and despair. Sure, we could easily treat Christmas as just another holiday, bastardizing God by telling a neighbor "Happy Holidays." But Christmas is more than about being gay.

In the very name, we find Christ, the Son of the one true Father in Heaven. It is only in Jesus that we can find true joy and peace of mind. Traditions of the changing times have tried to rub out Christ from the equation. We must hold on to the Truths that brought this nation together. We must remember that Judeo-Christianity is the fabric of this country.

A Blue Christmas

As Americans, we observe the birth of the Son of God on December 25th. For many, people find Christmas to be a very depressing time. I know several people who hate this time of year because it only reminds them of failures, heartache, and hopelessness. Many people will not have friends and family to spend Christmas with. Many will spend it alone. They will not even feel the motivation to decorate a tree, go to a church Nativity production, or even rest. Some will not even have the opportunity to enjoy the warmth of a meal or the comfort of a soft couch. You yourself may even feel the sting of the cold. If there is anything colder than the concrete you stand on, it is your heart that has frozen in a state of sadness. Even crying could not describe the tears that pour from your broken heart.

"A Thrill of Hope"

Most assuredly, I swear to you that there is a Hope! Almost 2000 years ago, our world was blessed with a Savior who came to lead us away from our own despairs. Even today, centuries later, His power is so strong, that right now, at this very moment, He can free you from your pain during this winter of discontent. For Christmas is not about what we can get from our fellow man, but a time in which to honor the birth of Jesus! That is where we gain glory.

"O, Jesus, born on this day, He is our Light and Salvation."

The true Hope that we have to make it through the dark is accepting God's greatest gift: Christ.
No one is perfect; I sure as hell am not. For we all are living in this dark, sinful world together. It is all of us that Christ came for. God demonstrated His love for us by sending His Son to show us the road to redemption. Find your hope in the only guaranteed place it will be; rejoice that that place is in the greatest arms of Love, Jesus Christ.

Finally, 2011 was a real bitch for me. I was hurt, betrayed, slandered, cheated, and disrespected by dozens. Though I did make new acquaintances, I also had many bridges burn to the ground. Sometimes, God destroyed these bridges for the greater good. Other times I'll admit, were from my own doing.

I received a lot of sad news this year. I lost so many loves and even been persecuted for my religious beliefs. Members of the modern Church have sought out to have me removed from the ministries I'm involved in and even have even demonized those I love. Right now, there are those who do not like me at all. Like Christ, I too have enemies.

The Bible makes it very clear that I am to love my enemies, and I do. In honor of the anniversary celebrating the birth of Jesus, I extend my hand of peace to all those who hate me by saying,

I wish you a Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to all, and may everyone experience the true Thrill of Hope.
