Have a Blessed and Happy New Year!

Have a blessed Christmas!

"... who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God ( a thing to be grasped, but) made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. "
(Fil 2, 6-8.)
