From Gary.... c-a-e-r-f-u-l


Wait, it should be S-A-N-T-A, not SATAN.  Someone was careless, very careless.  And CARELESSNESS is one of the major causes of unfaithfulness. Now, I know that its all-to-easy to cross the line from being helpful to being a fault-finder, But, being very-careful is an important thing in a Christian- especially those who preach or teach in any way. Consider Paul's advice to Timothy.

1 Timothy, Chapter 4
16 Pay attention to yourself, and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

And then there is this passage from the book of Hebrews...

Hebrews, Chapter 2
 1 Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, lest perhaps we drift away 2 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense;  3 how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation—which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard;  4 God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders, by various works of power, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will?

Point is- everyone needs to be caerful careful in what they do, because even the best of us can fall by the wayside. And a spiritual fall has the potential of being for EVER!!! And I long as I am thinking about all this, I wonder- What does Santa serve for breakfast? Cookies and milk???
