Merry Christmas!
Thank you, everyone!
Friends,
I wanted to take a moment today to say thank you.
Thank you for reading, for sharing posts, for leaving thoughtful comments, for sending notes and encouragement, and for sticking with this work month after month. Whether you’ve been here from the beginning or you just subscribed recently, I’m genuinely grateful for you. Your attention is not something I take for granted, especially in a world that is loud, distracted, and constantly pulling people in a thousand directions.
I hope you and your family have a blessed and joyful Christmas, full of peace, warmth, and the quiet happiness that comes from remembering what this day really is: God keeping His promise.
Please know that I’m praying for you and for your intentions. If you would, please say a prayer for me as well, that I will keep doing this work with clarity, courage, and charity, and that whatever good comes from it will be for God’s glory and the strengthening of souls.
Merry Christmas to you all, and thank you again!
God bless you.
Chris

Merry Christmas! I read all of your articles, but I seldom post. On this special day, I want you to know just how much your articles are appreciated. My entire family reads them, including those on the fringes of Christianity who we forward them to. I suspect that the impact of your writing is broader than you might realize. In any event, keep up the great work. You are appreciated!
Merry Christmas to you too, Chris. Will add you to my daily prayer list.
