Mike's Annual Peace on Earth Message
To
all my Secular and Politically Correct Friends:
Please
accept with no obligation, expressed or implied, my best wishes for
an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice
holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the
religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your
choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or
traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or
secular traditions at all.
I also wish you a fiscally
successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated
recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year
2025, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of
other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make
America great.
This is, of course, neither to suggest nor
imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country;
also, this is not to imply that "America," as noted
herein, is the only America in the Western Hemisphere.
May
these heartfelt wishes be received with equal intensity regardless of
distribution of individual wealth, documented carbon footprint,
or perceived social privilege among the wishees addressed herein.
This wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age,
physical ability, religious faith, or sexual preference of the
wishee.
To
Everyone Else: Have
a Merry
Christmas
and a Happy, Healthy, Prosperous, New Year! Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace and good will toward men. ~ Luke 2:12
Lest we forget, or trivialize, why Jesus came, " I have come that they may have life" ~John 10:10
