Do you remember the movie, "Wedding Crashers" from a couple of years ago? It was a big hit. And didn't they do a reality show by the same name? The definition of a 'crasher' is someone who attends an event as an uninvited guest. So I was just wondering if it was possible to have a Christmas Crasher? Maybe not the ones your thinking of. Yeah, there were definately some Christmas crashers around on the first Christmas. Like maybe... Herod, he sort of tried to crash the party I guess you could say...But then there were other things that got in the way. Like busyness, materialism, politics, etc. All the same things we struggle with today. (Don't worry we're keeping politics out of the discussion this time!)
Have you ever had an uninvited guest show up for Christmas? Like a relative that you haven't spoken to, or how about your old friend depression? Neither ask to come, they just show up when you least expect it. And surprise, they crash the party!
Maybe I'm not alone in this, but it sure seems that Christmas is an opportune time for our spiritual enemy to show up...uninvited! You see, the ultimate Christmas crasher is the devil. And in case you're wondering, I still believe there is a devil and that he wants to crash everyones party! Yeah, we have a spiritual enemy that shows up uninvited from time to time. And that's why we have to make sure that we officially univite him when he arrives. Yup, that's what we need to do. Open the door up and kick his freaking butt out in the cold where he belongs. In other words, don't let the devil pull a fast one on you this year. He'll come when you least expect it and steal the presents right out from under the Christmas Tree. And he'll do it right under your big fat nose! That's why you need to get aggressive and send him back to hell where he belongs. Because let's face it, there is nothing worse than a Holiday that gets poo hooed by an uninvited guest.
From the bottom of my heart, I want to wish each one of you a very Merry "Plunge Faith" Christmas. But I want to challenge you to recognize the battle we are in and limit your celebrations to invited guests only!!!
O.K. you faithful bloggers get your backs off the wall and dance!

Reminds me of a song... "Get your back up off the wall...dance...come on!"
From our era...who was that? The Commodores?
You spaced out those paragraphs quite well this time. Ha! :)
Hope you guys have a devil-less Christmas season.
I just noticed your other blogs (Cambria, Brianna, & Hunter).
We had a Norwegian Elkhound for several years that looked kind of like your darker Akita (Max or Sassy?).
Thanks for the other comments as well. I need to read some more Len Sweet to balance out the McLaren, Paggit, Jones, Wallis, etc.
