This has been a good Christmas season. I think I’m taking a liking to it. I’ve been a Grinch, a Scrooge, and a Humbug most of my adult life. That started happening after I quit getting so many presents because these little despicable things called “grandchildren” entered the family and stole my thunder and my “baby of the family” status. But I’m not one bit bitter about it.
We have a white Christmas this year. Before you have quintessential visions, stop right there. It’s not a bit pretty. There isn’t anything pretty about snow blowing 50 mph.
We had a beautiful communion service last night at church and that is the beautiful part of it all. Amid all the wrapping paper on the floor, the turkey carcassess, the pine needles stuck in sock feet, pause for a moment (or more) and ponder the miracle and beauty of Christmas. With all the complicated things in life, this is truly the most simple.
A virgin.
A stable.
A baby boy.
A hope for a lost world.
Emmanuel.
Merry Christmas.
Love,
Angel

I’m Angel, a.k.a. Rocket Surgeon, and these are my chronicles. I love writing and I believe our stories should be shared, so here you’ll find anecdotes of my life, loves, worries, fears, joys, and experiences.
I blog about my mishaps and adventures as a wife, mommy, auntie, wanna-be writer, teacher, Texan, country/city/mountain girl, cereal killer and Jesus-freak.
A few things you might discover about me:
•Jesus is my everything; without Him I am nothing, but with him I can do all things
•My family makes this world a better place for me to live in
•I adore chickens, the live ones, although the cooked ones aren’t too bad either
•I have 2 dogs: Grace and Ozzie. And one cat: Rocky Muffin
•My dream job would be to raise chickens and write best sellers
Thanks for stopping by. Kick off your shoes and stay awhile. I know your time is valuable and I honor you for spending a few moments here with me. I hope you find something to brighten your day, lighten your load, make you chuckle and remind you of the good in the world.
