For Americans and others throughout the world, Christmas typically means spending time with family and friends, perhaps traveling hundreds of miles to get there. Many follow Christmas traditions that date back for generations. Such traditions might include attending Midnight Mass or a Christmas Eve church service or reading Luke 2 in the Holy Bible.
Special to the Signal When I became a mother I had no clue how it would change my life, or what extraordinary things that my kids would do. Sure I had babysat for 7 years quite regularly before becoming a mother.
Amid all the hustle and bustle of Christmas the world looks away at the reason that we celebrate. Politicians can scheme, elitists make plans for your future, manipulation of money occupies the few who control it and those who take it away. Churches are planning special services, news people find it loath to feature good stories that detract them from spreading fear. Kids from one to 21 are dreaming about how much is given to them as the retailers fill the shelves with things that are not needed. Mom’s, grandma’s, and aunts are busy making a feast to put before people that they only see three times a year. People confined to nursing homes and hospitals hope that someone comes to visit. Schools and factories are looking forward to some time off.
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Pratt, Kansas Special to the Tribune Before they were led out of the degenerate Jerusalem of 600BC, the prophet Lehi had sweeping dreams and visions of the impending Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem, and of God, and of the condition of mankind. In his vision of the tree of life he beheld a tree whose fruit ”was desirable above all other fruit”(1). He partook and was filled with joy, and in his vision he then beheld a rod of iron leading to the tree along a straight and narrow path, with “numberless concourses of people, many of whom were pressing forward that they might obtain the path which led to the tree”(2). “And it came to pass” Lehi said, “that there arose a mist of darkness… insomuch that they who had commenced in the path did lose their way, and wandered off and were lost”(2). He beheld a river of water, and on the other side of the water was a great and spacious building filled with people “in the attitude of mocking and pointing their fingers towards those who had come at and were partaking of the fruit”(2).
