The Virtual Pew: He Still Moves Stars

Over the years there have been people who have been moved by Christmas. They are not people who sat back and did not make a difference; many of them were world changers. I have to ask myself the question, what would inspire a world changing musician, actor, or performer to make such a valuable contribution to society? It would have to be something they realized was greater than them. From that perspective, many entertainers over the years have contributed during the holidays because they realize the attitudes and spirit of Christmas is greater than they.

It is kind of strange, we always want to know more about those we idolize, but sometimes we do not take seriously what it is that drives their convictions. I challenge in this short thought for today, think about the impact that the birth of Jesus had and in fact, still has on society. Not only does it drive the date we write on a check, it drives a society and its performers, entertainers, and voices of justice to do something special with their talent during the holiday season. There are many examples of that which we can observe and think about. Hopefully, we realize we can be an example to the power of Jesus birth in our own lives, whether working at a factory on an assembly line, teaching in a classroom, studying in a class, or working at a department store. Whatever we do, we can realize there is something special about the birth of Christ that can move us to have an impact on those we come into contact with.

Now before we get to the videos today, hopefully everyone will remember to pass the blogs along to your friends. The Christmas Special blogs from TVP can help a lot of people. You can show them what we are doing by Clicking Here at this Link. They can see various topics and see about the ultimate video blog that will be posted this weekend. I have most of the work done on those and will be posting them all, likely the largest single collection of Christmas videos in one place, on one page, on the internet. It will take a while for these to download once you get them, but if you take all of the videos I have posted so far, put them all together, you do not have half of the videos in their entirety. They can also get in the Christmas Spirit by Clicking Here and reading about The Virtual Pew and our Christmas giving options. Also be on the lookout for my story of The Best Christmas Ever, which will be posted around Christmas Day. It is a heart tugging story, and a true testament to the power of Christmas and God. I am really looking forward to retelling this story that is true, and happened to me and my family. It has been published across the world, and I will redo the story, just for The Virtual Pew.
