Christmastime is a fun time, and it's also a busy time, and it's a hectic time. And sometimes in the busyness we can miss what's really important.
One of my favorite Christmas stories, to my knowledge, it's a true story. It's a story of a grandmother. She was getting on in years.

All her grandkids got from Grandma was a card that said, "This Christmas buys your own present!" (Laughter). That'll teach „em, huh? (laughter). She forgot something really important - the gift!

May my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth if I forget to exalt Jerusalem above my chief joy." Jerusalem is such an important place. The Bible says in Psalm 48, verses 1 and 2, "Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, His holy m ...
