She keeps her temps warm like milk, "mlako," at 74 degrees in the wintertime. Just like me--we are in sync but not sinking together. We are shaded in hot weather by plants that grow up tall and stately--I like fruit trees and she prefers evergreens. What makes an evergreen ever green? It is Christmas for thousands of people. Christmas keeps them happy and warm--in 74 degree homes using electric bulbs because they are modern thinkers w/o candles on their Christmas trees anymore. Modern books, modern thought--a "new" Israel. But some do not have good memories of past Christmases; instead there are grudges that do not get solved with a Yom Kippur--It is Jewish Law to use Yom Kippur to forgive and ask for forgiveness from family members and friends. Instead there are New Year's Eve resolutions made in a state of drunkenness: people say their resolution is to quit drinking. And while they are eating large New Year's Day meals they make resolutions to lose weight. Forgiveness never becomes a resolution. If the followers of Jesus were able to forgive like the Jews do on Yom Kippur; we would have a peaceful world. But there are no Christian holidays that specifically are dedicated to forgiveness. If Jesus-followers could forgive and be forgiven there would be no wars, no rockets, just one big happy family. The world would all be one family. Messiah come and teach us all how to forgive and accept apologies and be forgiven. Will You please wipe out hatred from the Earth? We still have hatred everywhere and it has not vanished because of the coming of Jesus. Hatred is supposed to stop completely with the coming of the Messiah. We still have it here on Earth. How can anyone celebrate Christmas when their family holds grudges against other family members and therefore some people are celebrating Christmas alone, without love--hungry. I dare to ask. But I wish "everyone" a Merry Christmas for what it is worth.
