Thank you for writing this essay. Good reminder to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith; who for the joy set before him … that is the story our universe spins around; acknowledged or no. And so this Christmas, with His joy set before us , we can sing, eat, drink , remember and believe that His crucified body and shed blood has completely removed not only the sins of all those placing their trust in Him but also the guilt of that sin. We are forever people, whose joy is full and overflowing but not yet complete.

My God! Do you mean to imply that what I took for a functional society was actually an enormous Skinner Box of relentless conditioning, shaping and molding us to its diabolical ends the whole while?

I'm afraid 'tis so. Be vigilant, friends. Be humble and alive and renounce all this.

"The age of lust is giving birth, and both the parents ask

The nurse to tell them fairy tales on both sides of the glass

And now the infant with his cord is hauled in like a kite

And one eye filled with blueprints, one eye filled with night"

Leonard Cohen - Stories of the Street
