Wes,<br>Thanks for posting that. It was good. I agree that it is a wonderful part of Christmas to hear Handel's Messiah. I remember hearing about a saved Jew being asked what he thought of Christmas and he said something like anytime we have a chance to proclaim to the world the message of "God and sinners reconciled" we should make the most of it. Ruth is right that there is no room for Christ in most Christmases. How sad so many can listen to Handel's Messiah and enjoy it but not be moved to worship the Lord!
