"Is The Devil Trying to Distract American Minds From JESUS This Christmas?"

 The other day, I was in a "stationary" store looking for a 2022 schedule and I drifted into the Magazine section. You see, recently I've been collecting these "Tribute" special edition mags, mostly of MUSICIANS (Lennon, Harrison, Dylan, The Beatles but also I bought one of of REAGAN). And I was hoping to buy ONE new magazine that day if one was "in." I was shocked to see the GLUT of NEW tributes on the rack!!

And unlike the previous mags I'd purchased, one at a time, these mags pictured above are all of  "action" stars. Admittedly, I'm a fan of all three above but it AMAZED me to see three of these at once for sale!! Yes, I bought all three because two of  them were down to only one issue left, and I didn't want to miss these collector's items altogether. But I am reading them SLOWLY...it'll probably take me till the end of December (maybe early January) to read all three.

Without a doubt, the impending CHRISTMAS holiday is the reason why there's this "flooding" of the Tribute mags....they make great stocking stuffers, for sure. But Christmas is SUPPOSED to be the time of year when we celebrate the coming of The Lord Jesus Christ, and it almost seems like the devil is trying to distract our minds from the REAL hero...JESUS...in a concentrated way this year. Look, I love Rocky, Spidey and Clint but they CAN'T COMPARE to Jesus my Savior!!

WHENEVER GOD IS FOCUSED ON, WORSHIPPED OR REVERED Satan is always busy trying to turn people's attention elsewhere. The mags in the picture are innocent in themselves and so are a million OTHER distractions in our entertainment-based society, but Satan will use ANYTHING to turn our minds from the fact that Jesus came into the world to save sinners!!

May all of us remember the REAL meaning of Christmas this year in spite of the gluttony, covetousness, and yes....IDOLATRY of people and things that keep so many from Jesus, "The Reason for the Season"!!
