We don’t drink froufrou coffee. The coffee at the cafe is strong enough to grow hair on your chest. You could ask them to heat some milk and try to cobble together something that tastes like a latte. It’s not espresso, but it might do.”
–Colleen Coble (Alaska Twilight)
You still traipsin’ around doin’ yur shoppin’? I’ve been missin’ yuh, but I know the feelin’ as I had to go out one day. Whoopee, some folks don’t think that the law pertains to them when they’re out drivin’. Pard, despite all the things happenin’ we’ve got to remember that the season is for celebratin’ the love of God. The mystery of the Incarnation is upon us and we ring bells, put up lights, and sing carols along with drinkin’ our coffee in Christmas mugs.
I don’t want to be puttin’ a damper on yur singin’ of “Joy to the World” but they’re messin’ with God’s moral laws again. I thought I heard another nail bein’ driven in the coffin with this law they’re tryin’ to pass makin’ same-sex marriage legal. Why if that don’t ruffle yur feathers I don’t know what will. The Holy Writ says right from the start that man is to marry a woman and be united into one. Cayn’t happen any other way. Don’t think that this makes the Lord smile; it grieves Him. There is a reason for the family to bein’ like it is: father, mother, children.
Enough of that, drink up that coffee there’s plenty left. We got to get busy drinkin’ that pot down. Let’s hum a tune while we slurp. How ’bout “Deck the Halls”? Ha, that’s won’t work. I get coffee all over my moustache. Say, Pard while we’re in the Christmas mood, what’dya buy me for Christmas? Hope it’s not a pair of socks. Why just because I wore a hole in one I was a-wearin’ for a couple of years an’ yuh saw it, yuh’ve been buyin’ me a pair every year.
Pard, Christmas is a time for many things, and one of them is memories. I’ve got a whole heap of them. Why sittin’ here I was thinkin’ of all the lights we used to see downtown around the courthouse when I was growin’ up. Sure glad Coldspring does it every year. We went to the lightin’ a week ago. The cross was brightly lit, the nativity had lights showcasin’ it. Things were put in proper perspective with the Lord of Glory being the center of attention. Pard, be sure as yuh go about yur travels this holiday season to, of course, check yur cinch, but also to not lose focus on the great event that took place. That the Lord that He is the reason for the season!
Vaya con Dios.
