Who are you?

At first glance, the question seems simple. Yet the longer we sit with it, the more interesting it becomes. Many people answer with their name, occupation or role. "I am a teacher." "I am a parent." "I am a student." "I am retired." These descriptions may tell us something about what we do, but do they tell us who we are?

YOU’VE GOT TO CATCH THIS SHOW! Have you ever wondered what you look like in the mirror before you go out for an evening’s fun, or just going to work? Take a good and careful look at yourself, because it can cost you your job. Yep, that’s what I said. This is what happened to Melissa Nelson, a dental assistant who after nearly 11 years of service got fired by her boss, Dr. James Knight, for looking too attractive and irresistible, and wearing clothes that were too tight!

There are 8 gifts of Christmas that we have, or have had at some point, but we’ve misused them terribly, to the point where we have conscientiously chosen to let them go to pursue other fictitious aspirations. Why? Christmas is just one of those funny holidays that has a rather unusual effect on people, because there are so many different things to say and share about it, and because it’s also one of the few days left in the year that really allow us to look back and reflect on our families, our friends, and our humanity toward one another.
