so Christmas has totally taken me by surprise this year. those that are older are always telling me that it comes quicker and quicker each year, and i'm beginning to believe them.

last year it was very hard for me to recapture the wonder of the season. and i think that's the challenge every year, b/c 2006 was no different.

one thing that stood out to me this year, after hearing the story being retold again and again was one word: chosen. mary and joseph were chosen. namely, we are all chosen. i'm trying to figure this one out and get my head around exactly what that means, and why it stands out as if emboldened each time i listen to the story.

what am i chosen for?

it's something to consider in the next few days that are sure to be filled with the Christmas rush of shopping and family and meals and gift-giving.

what are any of us chosen for?
