MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
10 Comments Published by David Blanton on Friday, December 25, 2009 at 8:02 AM.
I would like to go on record and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas from the Blantons. And while we are bombarded like never before with distractions and reasons NOT to remember the reason for this special day, I simply say to you:
Take a moment to thank God above for the birth of his son Jesus on this day. For God sent Him to us in the form of man. To live amongst humanity, to be tempted, to love, to be one of us for his 33 years on Earth before God’s divine and perfect plan took Him home to be with our Heavenly Father for eternity.
But while on Earth, Jesus was not like man. Because he never sinned. And you know what? Jesus didn't come to condemn the world but to save the world. (John 3:17)
Is that the best Christmas gift anyone could ask for or what?

Hey David,
Once again thank you for using the platform God has given you to point folks to Jesus! Romans 1:20 "No Excuses" and it is obvious you are living by that brother! I appreciate your pointed words in this blog post.
In His Amazing Grace,

Thank you for the Merry Christmas wish and for not being ashamed of the Gospel. My husband and I and our one daughter and three sons are big fans of the real tree videos and we've watched them often. (We don't do TV, so the real tree videos is agreat alternative family entertainment choice for us). When we get a new one, we'll guess before the score comes on screen to see who comes the closest. We always tease each other about who our favorite hunters are, but I tell them all that you are my favorite of all.
I've always liked your spirit and character and I told them a long time ago...."I think David is probably a Christian". I appreciate your example and you
not being ashamed to mention the Lord. Blessings and best wishes for a great 20l0.

David,
Over the years I've watched you use what God has given you to return Glory to Him. I thank you for that.
Please keep up your wonderful works for Christ.
