Sometimes, I sit and wonder how we all know our sins, our faults, our flaws and yet still we do not fix them. I know personally from my own experience I not only know my peccancy: I can call it all by name, and when and how I will use and do them.
Some think its through no fault of our own we are drawn into these familiar circumstances again, and again but, hark there is hope. As we all know that this is the Holiday season of remembrance of our dear Savior’s birth, what our calendar’s began and end with the peccany, the habitual reminder of a Man’s birth and death that we celebrate not only nationwide but, world wide. Can you imagine such a place that has not heard of Christmas or at least, Wintereenmas?
What is in such a thing is it just the familiar historic habit that bring us forward, over and over again living in the same shadows of tradition? Or does it grow and grow such as, the commercialism that eats away at the moral fabric of American society nay, the world? I believe it does and there is only one cure for it. One Redemption of it that we know, or should we? Sometimes I honestly feel if the mainstream humanity mocks, or at least attempts to withdraw from the flaws, or is it the truth that lingers on in our personal strife? I, for one know my peccancy, and I for one know that it is visited more often than Dylan’s Highway 51.
Sometimes I wish life was simple, one way, differences, happiness, death.
We all know brethren, that this is far from the truth. Life eventually leads into a circle of vice and misery, or vice forgiveness, and vice again. How do we stop this? How do we end this vicious circle? You know and I know dear reader, the Being we constantly embrace this time of year. No, it’s not Santa, fuck. I never was a fan of this cheeky character. I am talking about Christ, and if I can be so cliché as A Charlie Brown’s Christmas as the same as it was in Luke.
“Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. 11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:
“ Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” -Luke 2:8-14 NKJV
Love God, flee from habitual peccancy, live each day as it was your last.
