Do you ever find yourself asking, "Why me?"  When things seem to be going wrong, you ask, "Why me?"  When things are going to good for others, you ask, "Why them?" 
 
Try this one:  The God of the entire universe descends and is born as a baby to live among the people He created.  When you contemplate the fact that God had a whole world of women to choose from, you have to wonder why He would choose a poor, peasant, Jewish girl named Mary.  Why Mary?  Why did God choose to use this girl?  If we can discover why God chose Mary, maybe God can use us in ways we never thought possible.
                                     

All month churches and communities all over the globe are focused on one event - Christmas.  It only makes sense.  Two thousand years later, Christmas can still create traffic jams, long lines, crowded stores, and packed out churches.  It is the most significant event in the history of mankind.  
                                     

Can you believe 2009 is almost over?  Is it me or are our calendars speeding up?  The Bible says life is "like a vapor... a blink," and with the days flying by, I can see the truth in this passage.

 

The point is, whatever we are going to do with our lives, we'd better get on it because time is running out.  The other point is, if we are not doing something with our lives, it really doesn't matter how many days we've got left anyway. 

 

So how can we finish 2009 well and be ready for 2010?
