What a happy time this morning at Dallas Baptist University! We had our first ever commencement ceremony in beautiful Pilgrim Chapel. It was the first time for our new President, Dr. Adam Wright, to preside and to grant diplomas to the students! What a joy to work at a school with a steady gaze fixed on its purpose of helping students to integrate their Christian faith into every academic discipline and into every aspect of their lives!

Christmas will be here very soon. Lots of people are talking about refugees from the Middle East right now. When Jesus was born in Bethlehem, the family we look at in our manger scenes would have qualified by current U.N. criteria as “internally displaced persons” since they were required to stay in a part of their country away from their own home. Matthew’s gospel tells us that Joseph had a dream that saved Jesus’ life from the ruthless ambition of Herod the Great who ordered all the little children of Bethlehem to be killed. On that trip as an infant Jesus became a refugee from the Middle East.

Maybe as you are getting ready for Christmas you could make a moment to pray for those living today who have been born in Bethlehem. The link here will take you to a video which can lead you in that prayer: http://www.prayercast.com/gaza-strip-and-west-bank.html

God bless you and have a very Merry Christmas!
