But every once in a while I come across a story that is so sad and bizarre that it takes sadness to a whole new level.
This is one of those stories. Fox News reports (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,580479,00.html?test=latestnews) that a 4 year-old boy was found walking around by himself at night, drinking beer, while wearing a girl's dress that he had stolen from the neighbor's Christmas tree!
And when the mom was interviewed, the explanation that the mom gave was that the boy's dad is in jail and the boy wanted to get in trouble so he could see his dad.
What do you do with a story like that? I couldn't make up a more bizarre and a sadder more pathetic story than this. And it's happening in real life.
Friends, you and I live in a world wrecked by sin, selfishness, and irresponsibility. We all need to change. We need to be better people.
This is why Christ came into our world. He did not show up some fancy palace. He chose a place very few would have chosen on their own. Jesus came in order that all of us might discover life.
May this Christmas season be a reminder of how much we all need what only God can provide through his Son, Jesus Christ.
