After Mass tonight
We went to White Castle, then Taco Hell, the McDonalds, then finally ended up at Burger King to try to get something to eat; we managed to get the last food Burger King jamed through the window tonight. Apparently you have to be Jewish to know where all the all night chinese places are.
It struck me during mass that there’s so much that atheists and agnostics miss, not being able to celebrate this moment of belonging to something not only bigger than ourselves, but as big as creation itself.
And then it dawns on me, I have this wonderful gift that gets renewed every year, about this time.
Gwan ahead and not buy any of this “God” stuff, you dorks. I got enough Faith for us all.
I can’t conceive of anythiing I’ve ever done to deserve it, but that’s sort of the point, I guess.
Merry Christmas to you all. Most of you have improved my days, some of you have improved my life. You all deserve more than I can ever give you. May the Creator come through where I cannot.

and you have enriched my life as well my friend.
Merry Christmas to you and the OgFamily.
Well said, Og. I’m a somewhat lapsed Christian. Haven’t attended services for quite a while, but I pray and read the Bible.
For the future, I pray for God’s mercy not His justice. If I get what I deserve, I’m well and truely farkeled.
My best to the Ogs and the Ogettes.
Merry Christmas to you and yours Og. And thank you for tapping on that keyboard regularly for another year. I thoroughly enjoy it.
He does Og; thanks for the thought.
Merry Christmas to you & the family.
Merry Christmas Og. All the best to you and your family. Keep dishing it out and I’ll keep coming back.
We went to evening services(which tended to be about 50% singing, with a minimal amount of sermon), and like yourself I was hungry afterwards. Not quiet hungry enough to go searching for food…Dairy Queen was dark at 7:30, and so was Taco Bell, so at that point, I decided to fill up on Santa’s Cookies.
I hope Christmas is good for you and yours.
And to you too, sir–perhaps more than you know, and perhaps not.
Merry Christmas to you as well sir! It amazes me the Good Lord has put up with “us” for as long as he has. But that must be why he is who he is, and I am on the best of days, but a spec of sand on an endless eternal beach.
” For, this day, is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord”
May the Creator come through where I cannot.
He does have that knack, Og.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
God can always come through. Merry Christmas Og, and all the rest of you as well.
Merry Christmas Og, to you and yours :)
