    MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
    "'Cause how many kings step down from their thronesHow many lords have abandoned their homes?How many greats have become the least for me?And how many gods have poured out their heartsTo romance a world that is torn all apart?How many fathers gave up their sons for me?"
    -- Downhere, "How Many Kings

    Phillipians 2:3-7
    "    Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 
    Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.  You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.  
    Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to.
    Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being.
    When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross."
