Christmas

My regular readers will know that I have been having treatment for prostate cancer, which has gone well and next week I start a course of radiotherapy. In the last few months I have done a lot of thinking about my past and even my future, and I have come to the conclusion that life is too short for all the arguments and conflicts that seem to plague our society today.

We are rapidly aproaching Christmas, when we as Christians, celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. He came to earth as a small baby and grew to be a life changing person, bringing peace and love to a troubled world and still is doing that today, 2000 years later. That is if we let him him come into our lives to be our Saviour.

Jesus can bring peace into this world if we let him, so why don’t you help him this Christmas. Forget petty arguments and do all that you can to reconcile yourself to those family members and friends that you have fallen out with, for whatever reason, and let the Prince of Peace come into your heart. If everyone did this throughout the world just think what a wonderful world this would be.

Have a Happy Christmas and may you feel the peace of the Christ child come into your heart.

Christmas Programmes on Celtica

The Christmas Underground Edition, On-Line and Podcased for Christmas 2008.

In this update; Bill’s special guest is Esteem, a young rapper from North London hoping to make the best music possible and unusually, combines all genres and types of music in his work. In Urban Legends, Wing Commander Rob Woods, the Commanding Officer of the Royal Air Force at Saint Athan reads A Letter from the Front, a poignant and true story of a miracle that happened one Christmas on the fields of Flanders.

Andrew John has been thinking along the lines of silly names for Christmas, after a bishop complained that not enough parents were giving their kids good, solid, traditional names. And we hear the Christmas message from the Queen, although this year due to cutbacks it might be slightly different.

Also who said this? We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give. Plus more great new music in this weeks programme from; Jack Frost and The Christmas Band, JJ Kane, Eye Spy, Juruda Music, Waking the Witch, Pete Walter and Spanx T Urquhart.
