Christmas decorations and music are now allowed (according to Lewis Law).

That will make more sense to you if you read last week’s post. Even if you didn’t, it’s pretty easy to figure out.

We’ve been properly thankful and have followed up with shopping for Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals just to show how thankful we are.

So now we are really for a free-for-all of shopping, hall-decking, musicing and shaming everyone who says “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas.” (I’m completely not serious about that last one).

We all remember the events of March 2020—the month that the COVID-19 pandemic blew up the news sources around the world. My wife, Daniele, and I were on a trip of a lifetime with a handful of friends and others on a tour of Israel led by Dallas Theological Seminary’s current president, Dr. Mark Yarbrough. As it turned out, we were one of the last groups allowed into the country. Places normally teeming with people were vacant, allowing us to have the most visited tourist sites to ourselves.
