Steve,
thank you so much for your words, and the time you took to write them down. I found it really inspiring, and an awesome reminder to focus on what's important. And remember that Jesus came here as one of us... in such a humble way... WOW! Thanks for the reminder, culture screams way to loud during this season that sometimes it is hard to hear the whispers of God that say, "Peace!"

I couldn't dig up your current email address, so I thought I would comment.

I really like the irony you pointed out about Christmas, and Christ here during the "holiday" season.

Also, speaking of irony I put my nerdiness to some good use and hunted up some word origins for you. (I love me some Etymology (the study of word origins))

In a slightly funny twist, there is actually irony in Waist and Waste.

I'll save you the link time though: Waist seems to stem from the word or suggestion of growth, and Waste comes from words meaning to devastate and ruin.

So Waste should probably be closer to the word "Diet" than Waist. =)

And that concludes my morning nerdiness. I hope you enjoyed it.
