Jesus was not a rockstar.
hello, postmoderns.
you can keep your abstract church.
your non-christmas pagents.
your technologically-difficult church.
your metaphoric church.
i do not appreciate going to church to be told that my life lacks imagination, lacks excitement, lacks inspiration.
Christmas is not about the manger, you're right. but Christmas is not about a rock concert either. It is not about cirque du soleil.
Christmas is about Jesus. a humble man, who never met expectations, only prophecies. He never followed trends. Christmas is a time for reflection, for anticipation of being saved, cleansed. Not saved from a vague conception of unimagination, but from our sins as people. How can it be that church has become so watered down that even the "Christmas special" at the local church doesn't talk about the saving power of its savoir? Christmas is no time to back away from Jesus, it is time to step up to the alter.

crossroads can't help it -- just geek boys with too many tech toys trying to connect dots between the vague melancholia that marches in as we near Christmas at adulthood and how Creator makes all things new. admittedly metaphorical.
and definitely not indie kid friendly.
