This is the first time I have posted a topic and I will try to be brief. As a Priest in the Anglo-Catholic Church, my faith is very important to me. I will freely offer it to all who would but ask, but never would I try to force my beliefs on any. I realize that this is a world wide board and I have had nothing but the most courteous conversations and comments during my year (to date) here. It has blessed my soul and spirit to make so many acquaintances from so many diverse cultural, national, and ethnic backgrounds here and I pray that maybe some have enjoyed my work.
I would like to say to any and all at this; the second most important day in the Christian world (Easter being the most important!), I pray that each and every one of you, from where-ever you come will have a most blessed Christmastide and a most prosperous New Year. May the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ bless you and keep you all in the palm of His Holy hand. Thank you all for touching my life with your artistic work. Merry Christmas to all!
Merry Christmas to you Joel and to everyone on 365

Merry Christmas to you Reverend!! I want to share something with you since you so graciously posted this wonderful message on the board. I have never been closer to Jesus than I have been this Christmas. It's amazing how attempting to teach my two year old son the importance of keeping Jesus Christ in Christmas, and the real reason for Christmas, I have come closer to our Lord. It makes my throat thick and my eyes burn thinking of it. I hope and pray that I can stay this close for the rest of the year and continue to be an example of God's work in my son's life. He's so sweet, he loves saying his prayers at night. He is the inspiration I needed, and I hope I can give it right back. Thank you for your post and I hope you have a wonderful CHRISTmas!!
Rev Joel, always a pleasure to have your blessings and kind thoughts. It has been an honor for me to know such a high quality person as yourself the past year. So, I thought I would do this project again!
Many thanks and I had wondered if you a real priest or someone mucking around ... Hope your flock behaved themselves and you were able to draw them into your pasture. I don't do the 'merry' instead I send you greetings for a Happy Festive Season.
