It seems like a fairy tale, doesn’t it?

A God who created all that there is including you and me looks down upon our lack of moral character and decides the only hope is to inject himself into humanity to save it from itself.

The cost of this effort? His son. Because moral failing is an anathema to all that is good, and we are objectively not good by nature.

God’s son’s death is the sentence for our high crimes and misdemeanors writ large.

And like us, Jesus, God’s son, comes as a child—a newborn with all the necessities for care and provision.

There are only 85 days left.

Now some of you are counting on your fingers and toes and have determined I must be wrong; there are 62 days.

Nope it’s 85 and how do I know?  Because I am not talking about the presidential election. I am thinking of Thanksgiving.

The irony is not lost on me in what may be the most divided time in recent American history politically, we will collectively pause and give thanks for friends, family, and hopefully God.
