          “The crystal skulls have spoken, the world is not going to end”. That’s part of the news story about that Mayan prophecy that has much in the world frightened, or at least anxiously wondering.

          But we are standing only several days away from Christmas. And we Christians celebrate the birth of a Savior. That means – or at least ought to mean for us – certainty and a sublime indifference to some crystal skulls or some ancient Mayan prophecy, because we know the truth.

          And that tells us, “Of that day and that hour knoweth no man, neither the son, but the Father”.

          I want you to know that this is the real Truth, we are in the loving hands of a Caring Father who loves us so much He sent His Only Son to become one of us, live here, suffer, die, and rise again. And that is enough for me.

          The poet said:
              “God is not dead, nor does He sleep,
               For Christ is here, His Spirit near,
               Brings peace on earth, good will to men.”
