"No coward soul is mine
No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere
I see Heaven's glories shine
And Faith shines equal arming me from Fear
0 God within my breast
Almighty ever-present Deity
Life, that in me hast rest
As I Undying Life, have power in Thee!"
- Emily Bronte, No Coward Soul is Mine (her last poem)

Tonight we watched A Charlie Brown Christmas. I love that show and I still get chills when I hear Linus reading the Christmas story.
Though I think only Blake and I made it to the end of the little half-hour special -- Jill being fatigued and my daughters unimpressed with mid 20th century production values and the slower-paced demand on new-millenium attention spans -- I still consider this little show the jewel among all Christmas specials.
Lord Jesus, thank You so much for coming to our rescue. We were so lost . . .
Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown.

Yes, this *is* what Christmas is all about. My favorite. Somehow even Garfield's Christmas strikes a resonant chord with its final message "it's not the giving, it's not the getting, it's the loving...'

My son, who is 11, watched this last night and said you know how many people might get saved because of this? I thought it was so neat that he heard the message.
