Merry Christmas!

Bible Verse of the Day

    Romans 5:8 (New American Standard Bible)

    But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

As a child, I remember having the impression that God was this mean man who was just waiting on me to mess up. Jesus was my only hope because He would save me from the wrath of God. I didn't quite "get it" that while God is a righteous God, He is also a loving God. Without love, He would have never sent His son to die for us.

Did You Know ...

    ... That David, who sings and plays drums with Mission Six, says his favorite Christmas carol is "The 12 Days of Christmas" from Relient K? Let it Snow, Baby... Let it Reindeer by Relient K is his favorite Christmas album and Elf is his favorite Christmas movie.

    David says that the best Christmas gift he's received was a big race car track with remote controlled cars and his favorite Christmas memory is of sledding. "When I was a little kid, my family and I would go out to this golf course with huge hills and sled for hours."

Recipe of the Day

    I'm not someone who strictly walks the Macrobiotic path, but I do try to eat healthy and I love to try new recipes. That's how I first found the delicious strengthening and warming soup; and I've been a fan ever since!

    Fish and Vegetable Soup with Lime, Ginger, and Cilantro - Prep time is 40 minutes, but the result is well worth the effort.
