The Christmas Season is upon us........

Wow hard to believe in 6 short days Christmas will be upon us yet again. I'm excited but for the first time in awhile it's not about the presents or things like that but about celebrating the birth of Christ. Maybe it's because of running the ROCK group or being sober but I am looking at the true meaning of Christmas this year. I remember a few years ago I had to give a talk at the LDS church on What gift could I give to Christ at Christmas and I choose to actually expand it and made it include what could I give to him all year. What I had come up then was giving the gift of Christ yourself by giving him you whole heart. This next year that is what I am going to strive to do better. I went to a bible study this week and had a really good talk with a friend and I am begining to see where I am changing and what people see different from a year ago. It's just through the example I am leading now and through that I can make some of the ammends I need to make. It's truely been an amazing thing this past year to see all the changes that have taken place and more importantly I have noticed that my heart has really changed from being full of anger to being full of love more so in the last month. I am so excited for tomorrow as it is the ROCK group Christmas program that they have worked hard on for the last 3 weeks. Our rehearsal today went well and i'm very impressed with how hard they have worked. They are an awesome group of kids and I am truely blessed to be given the opportunity to work with them.
