Jerry Orbos writes: "Think about it: There were people who were with us last Christmas and are no longer with us this Christmas. And, there are people who are with us this Christmas who may not be anymore with us next Christmas. So why don’t we make it the best Christmas yet? Let us not postpone our conversion. Let us not postpone our loving." My co-worker Irish witnessed the death of a patient this Christmas . Some would say that death is a very inappropriate subject when one talks about Christmas. As a result, I completely agree with what Jerry Orbos have written.
It might be difficult to think of endings during this holiday season. In passing, technology have made a formal farewell to the VHS. "Ryan J. Kugler, president of Distribution Video Audio in Burbank, California" final truckload of VHS tapes in October -- the last time it plans to make VHS shipments, and the last major VHS distributor in the country to do so. This is the last distribution holdout for VHS tapes this week announced it's finally cutting the format from its inventory. Arguably, this is the end of an era. An era which was good while it lasted. Ecclesiastes 3:1-3
There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven.
2 A time to give birth, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to uproot what is planted.
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to tear down, and a time to build up.
Arguably, there is a time for everything. Cliche as it may sound, endings are the harbinger for beginnings. Since Christmas and New Year are the two holidays which are inseparable, people should celebrate it with optimism. Maybe, such optimism is easy to say, but the execution would be a challenge. In some regard, this is the blogger's way of saying Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
