GOSPEL OF LUKE

2  AND IT CAME TO PASS in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. 

3  All went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

4  And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

5  To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

6  And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

7  And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them at the inn.
8  And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9  And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid.
10  And the angel said unto them, Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11  For unto to you is born this day in the city of David a saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12  And this be a sign unto to you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13  And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of heavenly host praising God, and saying.
14  Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

15. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, Let us now go even to Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
16  And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger

George H.W. Bush Christmas Card 2013

CHRISTMAS 1944 WAS A SPECIAL TIME FOR PRESIDENT AND MRS. BUSH.

As a young airman in the Navy, he was scheduled to arrive home on leave from the Pacific early in December with his wedding to Barbara Pierce scheduled on December 17 until his trip home was delayed.  They decided to reschedule the wedding for early in the new year and as, Christmas Day approached, the family waited anxiously for his return,  He finally made it home on Christmas Eve - just in time to celebrate the holidays and marry the love of his life.

The picture in this Chistmas card (just sent to self, Friend of 41) is from President and Mrs. Bush's wedding day on January 6, 1945 - one of the first memories they created together.  He and his lovely bride Barbara celebrated their first Christmas together one year later, while the handsome young Bush was beginnng his studies atYale.

41*****************************************41

The handsome Governor Jeb Bush of the George Bush Presidential Library Foundation has formally invited and authorized me to be included on the special George H. W. Bush Leadership Honor Roll.  It's to be permanently located at the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum.

My favorite photo of President Bush...

The Leadership Honor Roll was created in honor of the 20th anniversary of the presidency of George H. W. Bush as a lasting tribute to the President's extraordinary lifelong leadership.  [If you remember it was under his administration that the Berlin Wall fell into dust among other things and consequences.]

It's a special recognition for those who are helping President Bush and the library to provide current and future leaders from across America and around the world with lessons in patriotism and public service.

Really and truly, I appreciate very much in being thought of, invited and nominated by Governor Jeb with other Americans.

It's an honor and  I do simply accept!

Maze: Chicago Christmas Tree

One story about the origin of the Christmas Tree originated from Scandinavia. The pagan people there from long ago used to worshiped trees. When they became Christians, they made their sacred evergreen trees part of the Christian festivals. Another legend tells how the first Christmas tree was shown in a miracle to an English missionary named Winfrid, later known as St. Boniface. More than 1,200 years ago, Winfrid traveled through northern Germany. Along the way, he met a group of heathens at an oak tree near Geismar. They were preparing to sacrifice little Prince Asulf to the god Thor. Winfrid stopped the sacrifice and cut down the "blood" oak. As the oak fell, a young fir tree appeared and told them that the fir was the Tree of Life, representing Christ. The Germans were probably the first to use Christmas tree decorations. It caught on and became popular in Scandinavia, Poland and then in the United States. From tinsels and lighted candles to today of shiny colored balls and strings of colored electric lights. Cool!
