The Original Star Trek
Jerry N. Watts
Matthew 2:1-12
Many years ago, I heard my friend, Dr. David Dykes, give his congregation some needed information about Santa Claus. So, I’m thinking, ‘‘If He did, I should.’’

From: Santa RE: Replacement Santa
‘‘I regret to inform you that effective immediately, due the growing population, I will no longer be able to serve the Southern United States on Christmas Eve. However, I have provided a replacement for you, my third cousin, Bubba Claus. His side of the family is from the South pole. There are a few differences between us that you need to know:
Instead of milk and cookies, Bubba Claus prefers that you leave a RC Cola and pork rinds.
Bubba Claus’ sleigh is pulled by flying coon dogs instead of reindeer. (Santa made the mistake of loaning him a reindeer once, and his head now overlooks Bubba ‘s fireplace.)
Instead of hearing ‘‘On Comet, on Cupid, on Donner and Blitzen...’’ you’ll hear, ‘‘On Earnhardt, on Wallace, on Gordon and Jarrett.’’
The classic Christmas movies such as ‘‘Miracle on 34th Street’’ and ‘‘It’s a Wonderful Life’’ will be replaced with ‘‘Boss Hogg Saves Christmas’’ and ‘‘Smokey and the Bandit IV.’’
Bubba Claus doesn’t wear a belt. So make sure that the wife and the kids turn the other way when he bends over to put presents under the tree.
(TITLE) ‘‘To seek out new life and to boldly go where no one has gone before.’’ It was September 8, 1966, that the world first heard those immortal words spoken by Bill Shatner as he introduced the very first episode of Star Trek. After 50 years, those words have now been spoken by almost every Captain of the Starship Enterprise 9 (Kirk, Picard, Archer, Pike, and more). Admittedly, I’m a Sci-fi fan, but those words, this part of the opening words of this show have always intrigued me. Why? Because I see these concepts and these words in Spiritual Terms. Consider this:
