   One of my favorite Christmas songs is 'Little Drummer Boy.' Pa Rum Pum Pum Pum. 

  Some find it very annoying. Pa Rum Pum Pum Pum.

  I have always loved it. Pa Rum Pum Pum Pum. 

  I wanted to hear it every Christmas.Pa Rum Pum Pum Pum.

  But one Christmas, I really heard the message. About a poor boy who had no gift fit for a king. He had no gold, no frankincense or myrrh. He had nothing of value. He only had his drum.

  We don't know if the boy could play well. We only know, that's all he had.        We don't need gifts to lay before the king. We just need to give him us. The whole of us. 

                    Merry Christmas!

I, YOU, ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM

   Why is it, the food that is best for us is the stuff we don't like? The answer is discipline. We have to make choices. It would be nice if chocolate marshmallow ice cream was full of vital nutrients and vitamins. That would be an easy choice. Eating vegetables is harder.

  Don't make the mistake in thinking I'm against eating ice cream. I could go for a pint right now. Discipline tells me to go for half a pint.
