One response was given by the innkeeper when Mary and Joseph wanted to find a room where the Child could be born. The innkeeper was not hostile; he was not opposed to them, but his inn was crowded; his hands were full; his mind was preoccupied. This is the answer that millions are giving today. Like a Bethlehem innkeeper, they cannot find room for Christ. All the accommodations in their hearts are already taken up by other crowding interests. Their response is not atheism. It is not defiance. It is preoccupation and the feeling of being able to get on reasonably well without Christianity.

I will be hosting Christian Women’s Online “In Other Words” this Tuesday the 5th. This is the following quote for the week:
Join me in sharing about this Christmas quote. Write about it on your blog on Tuesday, and come back and leave a link here on Tuesday to your post.
I need to remember to do that next week. I always really enjoy it, but I often forget to check out the quote!
Hey, congrats! Have you seen the CWO awards? I knew that we were alike. I saw at Barb’s that you were a Sunrise, too. Me, too. We seem to frequently score the same on those quizzes.
Awesome quote – looking forward to write about it

L.W.,
I’ll be putting on my thinking cap for Tuesday.
In answer to your question, YES, we have the air conditioner running and I’m mad as a hornet. I heard a rumor that a cold snap is due. I’m waiting with my nose pressed against the warm window pane.
Congratulations on your CWO award nominations!!!!
Congrats on your nomination for a Sweet Scent Award. {{hugs}}
blessings,
