A year ago I couldn't get the words from that wonderful carol "O Holy Night' out of my head. I'm sure you know the feeling, the music of Christmas is like that. Once in your head, it keeps on playing! And the words returned this year!
Specifically, the words "the thrill of hope" stick with me, as I hope they will with you at this Christmas time and in 2008. Think about it. In a world where it is so easy to be overcome by negativism, way down deep inside each of us lies hope for a better day.
And that, for me at least, is today, as I experience the thrill of hope that we will focus on those things that bring us together rather than those that divide us.
On a very personal note then I extend my most sincere best wishes that each day may be filled with all sorts of wondrous happenings as you experience the great joy of knowing the thrill of hope as part of your life.

Beck and Mike's message written by brad on December 22, 2007
If you have not visited Beck's website you must. I have never see anyone so beautiful so hysterical. The guy is a complete nut. I love him. After watching some of the videos you forget you are looking at a hunk, which is a good thing so we don't just treat people like they are objects or eye candy only. RE: Mike's message. I love in the Old Testament when God promises us each a future full of hope. Good God, a gay Christian on here. And liberal too. Uh, oh, can't box me in. LOL. I have been putting messages on all my cards this year that I ask everyone to set aside a few moments in the next coming days to reflect on Emmanuel, that God became one of us, and in Jesus, (bottom line), not only to save us, but to tell us what we so often neglect, that WE are loved. Period. And not at a distance. But we are held in God' loving arms. I don't mean to get preachy, and I know many don't believe, but you have to believe in Love and God is love. I always say for those that don't believe, I will not beat it in their heads as I just try to plant a little seed and I know God believes in you, nor you would not have been created in His image. Dear Lord I sound like a theologian. Now who else can drool over the men from Oh la la Paris and be on here every day looking for Leighton and then turning bibilical. Love to all. And I mean that though I know none of the posters here. Brad....p.s. hello Leighton, and Michael....thanks for writing me this week and thanks for all you do.
