As a child, my attitude was at best apathetic
disbelief, and at worst I viewed him as nothing

removable beard and breath that could kill a cow.
As an adult, I've tended to view the Jolly Old
Elf as an overweight, tackily clad,
semi-obnoxious intrusion into an otherwise
Christ-centred holiday. North-Pole nothing - I

deception driving his sleigh straight out of the
pit of hell to spread his rival gospel of greed
and materialism. Bruxy Cavey, (Pre-becoming

And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with
you to give your bodies to God. Let them be a
living and holy sacrifice the kind he will
accept. When you think of what he has done for
you, is this too much to ask? Romans 121
(NLT)

It is more blessed to give than to
receive. Acts 2035 (NIV)

much you should give. Dont give reluctantly or
in response to pressure. For God loves the
person who gives cheerfully. 2 Corinthians
