Sometimes, I become depressed. My greatest depression is my stuckness. I am stuck in what I think of as Americana. The home, the lawn, the property, the cars, trucks, 4 wheelers, the vacations, the stock market, the grill, the wood stove, the gutters, the bicycles, the leaves, the boat, the dog, and all the rest. It has all captured me into a life of doing but not doing good. The Gospels are the good news of making room for God, and He takes up a lot of room. “Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you.” Christ has come this Christmas “to give me life and life abundant.” I have made my life into abundant things when I need abundant life. The greatest good news for me this Christmas is Christ overcame the world, even my world of abundant things.
