Thank God there are still some folks out there that know what the 
holidays are supposed to be about!  ... and thank God we are blessed 
with such excellent leadership!

Like Aaron Tippin said:  "You've got to stand for something or you'll 
fall for anything."

... or ... said more elegantly in the words of Christ (Mark 8:38):  "For 
whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful 
generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in 
the glory of His Father with the holy angles."

Re: [OT] HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYONE

To everyone:

I am not of the Christian faith, so I do not join in the "Christ" in 
"Christmas," but do have my own faith which also celebrates this time of 
year, and I wish you all the best of Holidays.  Jerusalem turned out to be 
the hub of many major world religions, and so did this time of 
year.  Following Thanksgiving and the season of gratitude, this time of 
year is especially good to take stock, and then to start the New Year with 
new growth and new hope.

I don't know if you have heard this before, but I like the explanation of 
what the "eye of the needle" was when Jesus made the comparison between a 
camel going through the eye of the needle and a rich man going to 
heaven.  The gates of towns in those regions and East were open in the day 
and closed at night.  In the gate itself was another thin and short gate, 
which was called "the eye of the needle".  For a camel to get through the 
smaller gate, the camel had to disgorge its baggage, load, etc. and then to 
get on its knees.  Thus, the whole point is not that redemption is 
impossible, but that redemption is impossible without humility.  I think 
that will be my goal this year: to become truly humble, which I am, whether 
I realize it or not.

Cheers,

Micael

The mind boggles at the logic extension of this line of reason:

DAD: Now kids, be good or Santa Craig will leave you copies of Windows

RE: [OT] HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYONE

Posted by James Turner <tu...@blackbear.com>.
With apologies to  Clement Clarke Moore 

'twas the night before Christmas, and all 'cross the net.
Not a user was typing, the code was all set.
The patches were entered and each file was checked in,
In hopes that 1.2 New Years would bring.
The coders were nestled all snug by their LANs.
With visions of post-release features and plans.
When up on the screen there appeared such a sight.
I opened the e-Mail, sent that very night.

Quickly I read the contents of the letter,
With each word, my mood became better and better.
>From craigmcc at apache dot org.
Subject: Let's ship it with no more reorg.
He went on to say that each package was done.
And called their names out like each one was his son.

Ship DynaForms, Taglibs, Controller and Actions.
Ship EL and Tiles with no further distractions.
To the centers of business and learning they'll ship.
Now download and install using dialup and SLIP.

And as he was ending his RELEASE-NOTES.TXT
With nary a sign he was bothered or vexed.
He added one note, which I read with delight.
"MVC use to all, and to all a good night!"

-----

Wishing everyone a wonderful holidays (including those already
celebrated [who was the joker who put Chanukah the week after
Thanksgiving this year?  Latkes + Turkey + Stuffing = weeklong coma]),
and may NullPointerExceptions stay far from your code.

James

Let us all spend some time this joyous season reflecting on the magnitude
of a God that would bother to create the likes of us, and His willingness
to sacrifice a Son to maintain a relationship with all the idiots and
dirtbags we have to deal with every day (including ourselves :-).
Without Christ, there's nothing particularly interesting about Christmas,
except for a determined marketing campaign by all the stores to imply how
inadequate we are if we don't spend lots of money giving each other gifts.
Oh, and a guilt trip to care about the needs of others for a couple of
weeks every year, instead of all the time ...

If all you care about during this season is excuses to party, New Year's
Eve will suffice for that :-).
